Posting trades on social media?

I hand paint ACEOs and belong to a nice community on TT, which has lead to lots of trades for me. I absolutely love what this has become and I display my entire collection on canvas and have my walls covered with these tiny bits of art.

Here’s the question- how do we feel when you trade with someone and they don’t post your art/video of them opening your mail? (Not excluding an artist, but not posting these types of videos at all)

I trade a lot, I buy even more, and I am also involved with fb and swap bots groups. Some days I am getting 10+ letters in the mail. It’s truly impossible to keep up with which platform which letter came from. Now mix in usernames/real names and it’s even worse.

Here’s the truth- I don’t find “I got a new ACEO trade in the mail” videos interesting AT ALL and I don’t want them on my profile..Im really trying to get my name/ art out there, and respectfully, I want someone who comes to my page and see MY art. Some artists have even stopped a trade for that reason. Does anyone actually enjoy those type of videos?
