I agree with you, at least in principle. I've shared things I've written to various sites, including this one. My guidelines:
- I never write with the goal of gaining traffic.
- I only share things organically when it makes sense.
If I were on Reddit and someone was talking about Foo, and I'd written something relevant about Foo, I'll send them the link. I've I write something and then realize people here might think it's interesting, I'll submit it. In short, I want to participate in the conversation, not make the conversation all about me.
