If you're afraid to share something that you considered interesting enough to write, how are you going to promote your company?

I'm not saying spam us every time a few stray neurons fire, but I think this "don't promote your own stuff" idea is some kind of lame artifact from reddit.

I couldn't agree more. It's frustrating on reddit to see users downvoted, just because they posted their own blog. IMHO, it only solidifies the "monopoly" top content producers have on the market. New bloggers have no way of promoting their own stuff, and nobody to do it for them.

Regardless, until things change, I would rather not submit my URLs if I think I'm going to take the heat for it - even if the content is good.
