This is worth a listen. The punch line is that trust is built by local presence in a community - but working within a community to become a resource for solving problems. Appearing every 2 years to message dump isn't the answer. hiddenbrain.org/podcast/pass...

Elsa Honig Fine, 94, Dies; Historian Promoted Black and Female Artists
Elsa Honig Fine, an art historian who founded a feminist art journal and published influential textbooks on Black and female artists in an era when scholarship in those areas was scarce, died on April 7 at her home in Manhattan. She was 94. Her daughter Amy Fine Collins said the cause was heart failure. When Ms. Fine began publishing Woman’s Art Journal in 1980, the art world was still largely male dominated, and many female artists were relegated to the supporting roles of muse, wife or hobbyist.

I think this also primarily from seeing myself as a hobbyis artist.
I create what I want when I want/can.
I don’t give myself a deadline, unless I want it done by a certain time.
I don’t care about algorithms and the like.
If I like it and someone else like then nice :)
