Is this obnoxious?
Patreon told me to tell you all that you can now gift memberships to other people. I'm bad at self-promotion, so I'll just quote what they had as the boiler plate text:
"Your gift helps grow our community and support my work, while giving you and your friend one more thing to talk about. Plus, you don't need to deal with shipping or wrapping.
Just go to https://www.patreon.com/dresdencodak/gift to give a gift."
Jokes aside, it really does help me a lot to expand the audience. Like, 85% of Dresden Codak's income comes just from this Patreon, so if you know anybody who might be interested, consider giving it a shot!

The opposite of obnoxious. Surviving, thriving even, to create more great work is 💯. I feel like there's a sort of subconscious trap that a lot of well-meaning creators (incl. myself in this...) fall into, which amounts to "ugh, online people who are *nothing but self-marketing* are dreadful, I want to never be like that" ... therefore the pendulum swings to "I will market myself by hiding in THIS CONVENIENT CAVE." Which, as we sadly know, doesn't actually work.
Not obnoxious at all!
Agreed!
