I'm small creator but I've experienced this firsthand because I'm bad at protecting my boundaries and yeah 😭

This also came with very high expectations for me. One mistake and The Ideal image falls for them and I'm suddenly the worst guy ever

My take on encountering creatives on social media has always been that it should be like an eighteenth-century street of rococo boutiques, and the expectation and appropriate behaviour is to say 'ooh!' and 'ahh!' at all the right moments, but otherwise stay out of trouble as elegantly as possible.
