It's something I've been struggling with internally for a few weeks now. Linkbait works, but somehow it makes me feel cheap, like there's so much more.

Great discussion and question! Loved this post! It’s something I’ve been struggling with internally for a few weeks now. Linkbait works, but somehow it makes me feel cheap, like there’s so much more.
