Why do we belong to social media groups-communities?
It is usually because we share interests and want to remain on the inside of anything new developing in those areas.
Very few of us want our information filtered by some one else’s opinion. If you are one of the few then move on and I will leave you in your comfort zone.
The fact of the matter is that in the entertainment world, especially with books we are subject to corporate filtering unless we read Indie and Self-pubs. These corporations slather the planet with huge promotion budgets.
Bringing it home.
Why do we need to use social media to bring more promotion to works that are already swamping the feed? {rhetorical, unless you think you have an answer then you may write it on your roll of thinking paper in your special room and keep it to yourself}
I just left a Community in G+ that has a huge membership. Apparently loads of people want to be spoon fed mainstream corporate BS. The moderator has blatantly allowed promo but not Indies or Selfies.
I warned you of an opinion and here is your bonus. It is actually a review of the site. If all you want is main stream this is a community for you. Enjoy!
