I like that approach of "not clicking any ads".

That said it could still land a message/spark interest.

And perhaps if it is worth investing your time in, you'll hear about it again, hopefully from a source you trust.

Reading it reminded me of a book "Writing without bullshit" which adds a few more concepts to what op shared.

Frontloading information is my favorite, where instead of building to the core conclusion you start with it and then expand.

Also you have companies that "game the system" by just creating great stuff that bring value to this community. Look at Tailscale for example.

You can just do marketing things that are perfectly aligned with the community.

That is a win win imho.

I think they called this channel "engineering as marketing" in the book Traction from Weinberg.
