Just a quick post to tell you a few reasons why i may not have followed you back on twitter! Now apart from some of the obvious reasons such as "Dick Pics" and general pics of naked people on your timeline,i always have a look at your twitter feed and see what you have been saying,are you interactive with your followers or are you just an account that is looking to increase your follower count.
If i see that you are an account that has followed "797" people today,for me you are someone that is only interested in increasing your follower account and i will very rarely follow back as i know that i will have no interaction with you at all! It is also possible that as soon as i do follow,i will immediately be Muted by you along with hundreds of others that i would think that you have on mute!
If you are an account that just constantly just churns out sayings and quotes,all of the same from so many different accounts,this is of no interest to me at all and i will not follow back!
If you are an account that offers us to "Buy Followers",i will never ever follow you back and will immediately block you.I dont know who is worse,the account that sells followers or the silly people who actually pay money for them!
If your account is locked (private),it puts me in a position where i cannot see your tweets and your timeline so i do be nervous about following back so i generally dont!
If you are an account that has an egg as it's profile pic,again i dont feel comfortable in following back but it may depend on what is on your timeline!
I guess what i am saying is that i like to be followed for me and my tweets and then possible interaction at some stage on twitter,not for the sake of increasing follower numbers which are of no significance to me as i am not concerned about my numbers. I do realise that this will not always be the case as twitter is a platform to promote yourself and your business as well as all other forms of everything else associated with social media!
While i am here,i may as well mention certain things that annoy me after i have followed an account back! The first and most annoying is when you get an automated DM saying thank you for the follow,please follow my blog,instagram,my life etc. These are so horrible,thoughtless and impersonal and can sometimes lead to an unfollow.Please people who do this,STOP as everyone hates this!
Another thing i do not like are DM's to my twitter as i am not a big fan of these but only when they are from people who are asking me all about myself,looking for too much information and this generally scares me! I dont like anyone asking me for pics of myself,where i work and if i am single! Guys,there are dating sites out there if you are looking for this sort of thing and if i was,i would be on one of them so please dont ask me for pictures,my phone number,where i work etc as this really scares me!
I do get private messages from some accounts asking me about my thoughts on fpl and for this,i am kinda honoured and proud that some people do ask me about this but again,i do draw the line when the conversation drifts away from fpl! Someone recently called me a "c**t" in a DM after havin a chat about fpl which them moved off the subject! Again these sort of things and people scare me!
Also i have to mention that if you have followed me,i do not always follow back immediately,sometimes your follow may have got lost in my feed and i do appologise if this is the case but when i have interaction with someone that i then realise follows me,i can then have a look at your TL and return the follow. And also i noticed that the longer that someone has followed me without my follow back,it does suggest that this person has followed me for me and my tweets rather than just looking for a follow back so thank you!
I hope this post has made sence and thank you for reading,i really appreciate it alot.I always try and support as many people as i possibly can as i feel that even a blog comment can cheer someone up so i do my best! I will however say now that i am disappointed in some people who say they support me but yet never read anything i write and i would bet that even if i mentioned names here,they would never even know as they will not be reading this post! I understand that's how it goes and that's life,i dont expect anyone to have read this or even comment but on the plus side,i do know who my genuine real friends and the people who really support me are and you people are truly amazing.
I would absolutely love to know who has actually read this post as my posts might get alot of views but not too many comments so if possible could you please comment or even give it a like on twitter as it will show me who you amazing people are,
thanks for reading,
Hollie xx
Great stuff! BTW this is Mr.Tips :) @FPL_TransTips. Thanks for helping me through the initial phase in the FPL Community.
ReplyDeleteyou are very welcome and thank you for taking the time to read and comment,i appreciate it alot!
DeleteGood reasons for not following here! I won't follow random accounts either. Naked photos etc are definitely a turn off!
ReplyDeletethanks hun for your comment and taking the time to read my post,i really appreciate it alot xx
DeleteIt seriously confuses me as to what goes on in people's heads when they send inappropriate photos and get abusive in their messages, like the person who called you a c*nt. What's the point? They're just sad, sad people :/ I can relate to you a lot on this so I understand where you're coming from. Well said lovely :) X

thank you so much lovely for reading and commenting,i really appreciate it alot! Very happy that you liked the post xx
DeleteI loved this post although it freaked me out a bit because it felt like you were in my mind. I seriously have almost the exact same logic/criteria about this topic. :) Except I'm married and old and boring so I don't get asked on dates in Dms. ;p
ReplyDeleteha ha,thanks so much for your fab comment xx
DeleteOh I agree with everything you said! I hate people who follow you for a followback and unfollow immediately. I usually follow back all bloggers just for some daily inspiration and to chat with them but I rarely follow random accounts trying to promote their products x

thanks so much for your comment sweetheart xx
DeleteI wish I'd come across this post sooner. Dummy that I sometimes am I've all too often followed Tweeps who followed me without checking first to see how many people the'd just followed. I admit to following an "egg" but I know who they are in real life - they're just not currently active on Twitter. I have't followed you on Twitter myself (yet anyway) probably because I'm not even sure what fantasy football is. I did look up your Twitter (@fplfashion). Knowing that you would have checked out Tweeps' Twitter feeds carefully before following, however, I'd be much more inclined to follow you. (My Twitter is @Panty_Buns). Another thing I occasionally check out before following people on Twitter is their blogs. Also, if people comment on my blog I'll try to follow them on Twitter out of appreciation and Tweet #FFs to them. I prefer following fashion beauty and lifestyle bloggers (Fbloggers Bbloggers + Lbloggers). Yes! I did read this post all the way through - the subject interests me and the tips are very helpful. I too get a lot of page views (and YouTube video views) but that doesn't always correlate to the number of followers and comments I get. (221,000 page views, 149,000 video views, but only 50 or so followers on my blog with about 22 commenters on my last post: http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/2016/01/2016-no-pants-subway-ride-and-thanks-to.html. You have WAY more followers than I do on Twitter! As of this morning I was following 1,117 and had only 873 followers.
ReplyDeleteHere, meee, I read your post. ;) Oh the follower problems on social media. You know, I always try not to care but I do. I absolutely hate the follow and then unfollow people. I hate auto-DMs. I hate accounts that simply promote because it's boring. I want to get to know people and find things to chat about. A few weeks ago, someone followed me because we got into contact through a chat. She was writing a paper about a topic that I wrote my BA thesis on and I helped her out. Recommended some books etc. And then, she unfollowed me. Honestly, things like that make me super mad. It shouldn't but I do. There are just so many fakers out there and the creepers are even worse. I definitely agree on all your points. Good post! :)
