I’ve begun to notice a disturbing trend amongst many indie artists on social media websites.
On Facebook you can “tag” people in photos. Upon joining Facebook a while back, I enjoyed the feature. When I received the email alerts “Oh cool. I’m in this photo.” Now I pretty much loathe them. Why? Because 90% of the time when it’s from an “artist” it’s spam. I’m not in the photo and all you did was tag everyone on your friends list. Not a best practice at all. If the shoe fits you here… you may want to reconsider the practice.
What if you were on the receiving end? For real. How would you feel?
