I never got social media marketing to really work for Shewstone and this week I learned why.
I was in a career development workshop and the presenter introduced a concept called a "trust quotient." This is a pseudo-mathematical concept not something measurable but I buy into it as far as it goes.

One of the annoyances of running a business is that digital platforms that are monetizing you are simultaneously giving you self-serving bad advice instead of helping you.
Take this gem from Facebook: "Engage with all comments, even negative ones, to show your brand is listening."
No, don't.

#TTRPG creators, let's please agree not to feed this monster. I have big ethical concerns about the use of AI in general and those get much worse when advertising enters the picture.
