Is “DM me” still the best way to be reachable?

We’ve all seen “DM me” or “email me for collaborations” in creator and founder bios.

But when you start getting hundreds of messages, everything lands in the same inbox — collaborations, pitches, spam, questions, everything.

That’s one of the problems that led us to build HellowMe: people can find your links, but when they want to reach you, they tell you why first.

Whether you’re a creator, founder, investor, freelancer, or just someone tired of random DMs — put your HellowMe link in your Instagram, LinkedIn, X, or wherever people reach you.

Curious what people here think — would you prefer someone to DM you directly, email you, or send a structured request with intent first?
