I guess this goes for kids who try too hard to look cool on social media. There is TWO situations im talking about so check it out

1 - Some dude who has 5000 followers, and 5000 following, follows YOU.. Check him out (no pope) and his tweets, photos etc are literally nothing you are about. I really ONLY follow pages that are sadboys style, vaporwave, fashion, and like people I actually know. So some dude who follows me and its his personal twitter and he has like business enquirers in his bio, honestly what makes this guy think im going to follow him back? Is f4f some kind of social media rule that im missing because I INSTANTLY block people that do this shit lmaoo even with a private profile it still happens lol

2 - Some dude follows you on instagram, u check his page. 12K followers, following like 30 people. Not much to say here but like im not stupid -_- im not following you back so that I can fill your void of happiness, follow for follow shit is stupid imo unless you actually hold your end.

I dont get it, do people sit around and go and follow and unfollow people all day? It seems that way and its kinda sad. BUT HEY WHO AM I RITE HA hA! ! @@ 1 !

EDIT - This also happens on soundcloud ALOT!! small rappers will inbox me "aye follow me back" **** no, I dont like your shitty music.. When I follow someone on anything its because I actually like you, I like your style etc youre cool to me.. not because I want a bigger number..

I think f4f is stupid too. People will follow 15K people, and only half follow back and they try to claim their 'popular.' I was never into the f4f thing, but whatever floats their boat. It does no harm to me and gets my follower count up while I keep my own follow count low.

That used to happen to me on Twitter all the time and I always used to fall for it. Not anymore, it's so annoying

Sadly some people see fake followers to show 'popularity' when everyone knows they've done something to get them followers and end up looking stupid, same goes for some youtubers, fake views/subs/likes it just looks stupid, if your channel/twitter or whatever doesn't have many followers, you're obviously not trying hard enough to get it out there, legitimacy is better than fake.

I feel similar to that on a lot of things. Friends lists on here for example. I don't add people unless im actually going to talk to you continually or you're a good resource. No matter how harsh that may sound if i consider you a friend we'll be friends otherwise no.

Im also extremely curious if these guys actually make money with this BS f4f stuff i don't understand it at all. I have really only experienced it on twitter and instagram. I can imagine it would be even more annoying on soundcloud.

It's actually annoying I can say the same thing for sub for sub because you'll just have inactive subs so what's the point lol? I do t really bother with all of this social media follow for follow, when someone follows me on Twitter and asks me to follow back I just ignore them.
