    I mean it’s literally no different from guests on talk shows or podcasts. They are almost never there just for fun.

    And I get it. Why would you put yourself through that unless you’re promoting something?

      There use to be some AMAs of bored pseudo celebs and they would just show up to take some fan questions and then bounce back to the woodwork… thats the type of shit I like.

        Calling promotion shilling is a bit silly though.

          Is it?

          I think Promotion = Shilling… just a bit more derogatory term.

          Most of the time, subs don’t let people pimp their personal shit for monetary gain, no clue why it’s more socially acceptable if it’s Jennifer Lawrence over some dude who makes cool pottery.
