Instead of telling creators how you don't have money and can't afford it, share their work and leave a compliment instead.

Seriously. It doesn't help to tell us about your financial situation. In fact, it actually hurts us because of the bystander effect and such.

I challenge you to replace your negative language on promotion posts with affirmation.

Help hype up the posts. Say nice things. Demonstrate your knowledge of the product or author.

Plenty of ways to help without money. But telling us how broke you are ain't one.

We all broke.
