There is so much truth in what you are saying here and I have picked up on a lot of it myself. Sometimes I feel a bit despondent that people seem to believe that this type of behaviour is the only way. I battle to produce something decent everyday and would much rather leave it for another day than post something I'm not proud of. For me I just keep doing what I believe in, which is to manage my account and support with as much integrity as I would in my day to day life. In my opinion this pays off much better in the long run and atleast I didn't compromise any of my beliefs in the process.
It should be the way, and I think as a new account this is the best approach - without a large stake to throw at your own rubbish, it's got to be seen as valuable to others.
Integrity is the slow but steady road, good on you :)
