Lately, it's been brought to my attention that people and this whole fad of #teamFollowBack has gotten a little out of hand. Over the past few days (actually it's been going on for a minute, but the past few days have been crazy), I'll receive a mention from a random guy/girl telling me that they've followed me and to "follow back please" or I'll receive the same message in a different form. It's all pretty annoying & actually makes you look desperate.
No disrespect to those I follow who are apart of #teamFollowBack & all BUT trust me when I tell you that I did not follow you with the intent of getting a follow back. Those of you who do your little promos here & there are cool with me...just don't flood my timeline with that sh-t. I never follow someone with the intent of being followed back. Personally, I follow those I find interesting. Tweets are usually unlocked, and you're usually RT'd in my timeline on the regular. Now, if you so happen to bless me with a follow back...I'm honored. Some of you follow, maybe for an hour or so, then unfollow. Half the time, not even acknowledging that you followed me so I really don't know that you've done so. I don't keep up with the whole following/unfollowing thing. 
I don't discriminate on who I unfollow either. I don't care if we're the best of friends in real life, if you haven't tweeted since August or the last 10 tweets on your page are from twittascope, then my friend...you're unfollowed. So next time you decide to throw #teamFollowBack in someone's face, remember there's that great button that's become my friend lately, and his name is BLOCK.

People are very adamant about asking you to follow them. Sometimes even rude where the BLOCK button comes to mind. If you want to follow me, just follow me. I follow people I enjoy and engage with. I could care less about the number of followers I have.
ReplyDeleteYou're alittle harsher with people you know. I admit I get guilty and follow people just because I know them. I'm working on it!
Im with you G I follow ppl that interest me normally I follow cuties ASAP and end up later UNfollowing cause they"re douchebags(Im trying to do better)So since I like to laugh and be entertained I follow those ppl how make me laugh Cause big D and a smile just aint what it used to be sigh* #BLOCK&ReportAsSpam are my favorite buttons on twitter;-)
ReplyDeletehaha. I understand all too well. I have those I follow solely based on their default, then to find out their tweets don't be about shit or they RT EVERYTHING that comes on their timeline. like seriously people...let's get it together.
