Yeah I get them, but, I just ignore it. I will follow you if I like your contents, not because you followed me.
How about people who just save your labor, time, intensive edited photos and post it on their "Best Photo Trails" blog, saying we are helping minnows get noticed.
Ummmm, no, you just took my photo and people are following you for it.
good points!
I consider that abuse and would be fine flagging people who repost your stuff simply to profit from it without adding any other value.
If they want you to be noticed, they can resteem you or upvote you onto trending.
