Also as to pertain to the spamming. In what sense or we talking about spamming here. It states for you to broadcast on your sites, social media, and what have you. If it is from other sites that aren't owned by yourself I can see a spam problem, but not if that site has a freebie post section. So there I am iffy on that, cause that all falls into the if your allowed go for it, when stepping into their domain. As for your own sites, if a viewer is set off by that then a simple ignore, or delete friend would be sufficent enought to rid that kind of behaviour, I have seen many company sites that have great disscussions hidden only for viewers to have to jump hoops to get to the topic, but offer no stop spamming marketing in their social media to the point I just delete myself to avoid seeing it instead of conversations from other artists that have a valid point to it. So what definition of spam are we talking about. On this site, or others.
One final word I might add, I do come across as being very hostile, but I assure you it aint my intent, i only offered my views, and gave my logic behind them based on experiance or have seen. Trust me if i was in attack mode you would definately know it, and honestly i aint going into attack mode over a few dollars a month or over money in general i have better things to spend my energy on that mean more to me than a revenue program, as i stated I like the program cause it offers to all where other sites don't care about any thing but the money. But i do get kinda miffed when someone sets a limit on what is acceptable and what isn't, who can have, and who can have not, based on those limits, to me that is absurd, and the mentallity that holds back progress.
