Synthetic followers, sign of something deeper?
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 1:37PM Lately I’ve noticed an abnormal amount of people following me and shortly after I decided to follow them back unfollow me. I mean, really?
I don’t know this just angers me and makes me feel bad for that person at the same time. If you really want people to follow you write interesting information don’t trick people into following you. I get about 2-5 spam followers a day if you want I can forward them and you can have your own little following.
Maybe I’m seeing twitter from a different light but for some people followers are like WoW achivements or StackOverflow reputation points – they’re just addicting. Seriously though, I think this shows a lot about a person that they feel the need to get synthetic followers. What I mean by that is, non-organic followers. People that were tricked into following someone by some sort of mechanism.
Now I’m sure there are people out there who go follow happy and change their mind. I guess excuses are like belly buttons… everyone has one.
