Isn't it just scary though?

And I totally agree that running a business isn't a charity, but at the point in time that you're pimping out your own children with the 'see how cute they are and hey... they're going to COLLEGE now because of you! yay!' horseshit, it just makes you look bad.

If I want to buy your product, I'll buy your product, I also don't give a rats ass if you put money away for your child's education, that's up to you, I'm not going to reward you with sales because you're doing the job of a good parent and saving up for your child's education. If anything, that makes me NOT want to shop for anything you have to offer as it's not selling anything on what it is, it's selling it as a pity sale for your rugrat.

And yeah, steamfashion is getting pretty bad... Did you see the 'what is steampunk' video? Yea gods. At least switch up who we're looking at during the course of the boring ass video that you're putting out. It switched from host-guy, to a badly photoshopped picture of host-guy with a Lolcat thing under him, back to host-guy at one point.

Self promotion for the sake of self promotion is a BAD IDEA, it always has been and it always will be.
