What are your thoughts on self promotion on 4chan?

Disgusting, vulgar, irredeemable. Self-promotion is prostitution.

Nothing wrong with it if you approach it like a sensible person.

A documented association with 4chan would prove a liability were you to ever make it big. You would forever be regarded as "that 4chan novelist." Your work would have to be pretty damn good to get normies to overlook that.

what if 4chan was owned by the gov, and then posting would just be like putting up a poster in a public place like a telephone pole

This. There'd be no upside to it either, since 4chan would summarily shit all over it regardless.

People should be able to promote their work but only if its actually good. How else are you going to get people to hear about you?

>> No.11549305
