Advertising in nontraditional outlets...

Before I get started, allow me to say that this is NOT the place to advertise anything of yours. The rules clearly state advertising is against the rules, so abide by them.



So, I was on Youtube listening to a song on a popular video. Admittedly, it was the music video for the song "Rude" by Our Name is Magic. I won't apologize for liking that song. Anyway, in the comment section there was a musician, wanting to get his music out to the world so that people notice him. So he asked them to check out his channel if the reader so chose to. Afterall, they're already on Youtube doing nothing important so why not?



Well, unfortunately the internet is full of trolls and haters. So naturally, they bashed him for not going through proper means of paying for ad space or an agent and getting people to listen that way. And I thought to myself, why?



This isn't just on that video, it happens a lot. An avid Youtuber who days video game commentary actually posts videos and allows his viewers to plug their own channels. And yet, despite his blessings people still hate on the ones who take him up on the offer. Again, the question is why?



Is it so wrong for someone to want to use the given free advertisement option and actually do it? Is it so wrong for someone with little to no money to want to save money whenever he/she can so that they can still make a living while supporting a passion? Does it bother you personally when you read these kind of advertisements?
