		<description>I am pretty much sick of marketers online.

Whether it&#039;s their auto-DMs, their stupid schemes, I don&#039;t care.

Make your website and product visible in places, but the rest of the world could please stop trying to sell me, that&#039;d be great.  I&#039;ll tell you when I want to buy something.  Support the causes I support.  Be a part of communities, and stop laying the spam down in a formulaic manner.  I can tell when someone&#039;s got some 10 to 1 ratio of &quot;good content&quot; and then lays down some spam.  I&#039;d rather the person just be themselves instead of being on Twitter or Facebook to just sell - because if that&#039;s your only reason, I don&#039;t want to listen to you.

So in short, good post.</description>
