Agree with you at 50%. I also disagree because it depends on people’s culture.
In my culture(French culture), showing your results to everyone is a sign of arrogance. We only share them to specific people. That’s one of the reasons I won’t write articles about my earnings, stats or any articles can boost my ego.
Only brands and my closest friends, I’m open to share them.
If you tell me there’re brands here, of course I’ll publish but if it’s just to show off with no return, NO WAY. Stats are the results of a work, and a work is personal.
Just like I said it depends on your culture and your mentality.
