How do you feel about small time artists asking for support via social media?

Example: Some artist just became a producing artist last week and opens up say, a website along with other social medias to promote their work. Are you skeptical at first? Do you judge it solely on the work? Does it look desperate? Would you prefer the new artist to release multiple works? Or is it fun to watch them grow as a starting artist?

*Exchange “artist” for anything like, chef, musician, etc.
