otherwise you're just slowly posting your own papers online and it looks a little silly.

Looking silly is fine, though.

I can't point to exactly when I crossed the line from some nobody who self publishes everything for easy sharing, to respected professional with a deep useful online archive of work.

Maybe that line is still upcoming, actually...lol.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not willing to chase prestige for tenure, but I don't think I'd be able to get away with self published for career progression. Not that I'm even sure I'll make it that far, I'm struggling just to find a post-doc position.
