RE: Everyone wants attention

in #attention3 years ago (edited)

I'm looking at one now with over 8k followers, following 131419 accounts... LOL! We only have ten votes per day and 24 hours in a day. It's blatantly obvious what the goal was there and the outcome is typical, like I explained. Big number, no views.

It's so weird because it takes less effort to simply grind honestly, and it yields better results every single time.

That old "web2 mindset" is an odd one. I even remember back in the day a "rapper" buying votes, then using that "clout" to act like a big deal, even going to far as claiming the votes were not purchased and those are his actual fans, and the fake rewards were "earned", then pissing me off claiming I point out his charade only because I'm "jealous."

Silly humans...

Probably worth noting we all have "dead followers". Impossible to avoid. Stings a bit when you're accumulating a following organically. I know from experience. The ones farming followers don't care and will most likely attempt to replace dead followers with more potential dead followers. You're just a number to them. As a consumer, that stings. I am not just some number that exists to make you look good.

Is that Scott? XD I remember noticing that some time ago and was like wtf lol why?

Organic is so much better, you get the people that actually are interested in you over time and they're sure to stick around longer and form actual relationships, but yeah as you say some people don't care about that, they just care about numbers.

Did the precise number of accounts following give it away? Fancy way to say a name without saying it... LOL!

Good dude but micromanages his time away. And I've noticed the concepts here, explained several different ways, still sound foreign and maybe even absurd to someone who's "good" at web2 tricks and gimmicks. Hard to break through that mindset and clue people in once they're in so deep.

lol nah I just noticed that in the past and was rather curious why he had bothered as there's not many others, or why at the very least did he not unfollow them again like the example above did.
