      That article kind of hints at the need for creators to get their shit together and do this kind of stuff. It says "Be slightly evil".

      Guess what? YOU FAIL. You fail because you think this stuff is "evil". As long as you have that mentality you're going to suck at it.

      Doing all that stuff isn't evil, it's PART OF THE JOB. Ask any successful creator about it sometime.

      It connects your work to the people who want to see it. That's good for them, for you, and for your work - even if you never make a dime.

      Some creators happen to be good at that particular part of their job. Some even enjoy it.

      But if you don't enjoy it, or if you suck at it, that's totally okay. Find someone ELSE to do it. Someone who loves it and is good at it.
