Is it getting worse?
Everywhere I go on the Internet, I seem to be running into a flood of spammy writers. And it's always "gimme gimme"
Buy my book. Crit my story. Review my book. Like my page. And they don't ever seem to give back anything. They don't chat unless it is to subtly mention their books. I don't mind people posting things about their writing - "I've just published" or "I'm stuck" or whatever. That can be fine. It's the one sided stuff that gets me down.
I'm sorry to be so negative, I usually try not to rant but I honestly want to know -- is it just the corners of the Internet that I happen to inhabit, or is it like this everywhere?
I think that's why I like it so much over here. At leas the moderators keep things under control.
