I look for gigs sometimes. They don't come to you. You have to go to them. One in twenty is about right. And that's just getting a foot in the door.
I see one comment here about flash mobbing the comment sections. I don't think that'll work. Some of these folks get hundreds of comments hourly and a mob would just fade off and appear like a spam bot is working overtime.
Comment spam can come off aggressive and be counterproductive..
