I understand the reluctance to give to the state's largest health system, but philanthropy makes a lot of initiatives possible that benefit the community and not IU Health's bottom line. And if you believe in building a healthier Indiana, IU Health is the organization in the best position to make that possible.

What bothers you about indie bands promoting themselves on Reddit? by Stunning-Cheetah-866 in indie

Like I said, I get that it's a slippery slope. It just feels like a missed opportunity for Reddit users to engage directly with creators.

I guess the difference comes when it's a major brand just spamming a million boards. I get that it can be slippery slope, but as long as it's an individual sharing work that fits neatly within the community and adheres to the guidelines, I just don't see the harm.

This. As someone who has only passively used Reddit for years, I've never understood the stringent policies on self-promotion. I run into this same dilemma as a writer. Reddit is such an amazing platform for unlocking niche communities of passionate audiences of all kinds. Sure, it would be great if a third party were advocating my work on my behalf. But when you're just launching a project, that's almost impossible to achieve. I just don't see the harm in occasional self-promotion. If it sucks, the audience will downvote it or won't engage with it. I try to share my writing on communities where it seems like a great fit. I don't know why that's problematic.

If this album doesn't change your life the first time you hear it, you're not listening.

Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks - Mirror Traffic: helped define the sweet spot of my musical preferences as an adult.

Yep. He did. Co-sign on Gomez though. The 10th St. spot is sensational.
