This.
I also understand that not everyone knows how it all works. It is part of the reason why I posted this. They will not learn if no one tells them otherwise.
Thank you for saying this. I can publicly declare that I involved myself in the You Follow Me I Follow You train and it was part of fun, really.
The numbers don't count to me.
I see everyone as a human. Each one typing away, reading, and glancing through words. So it's a fun way to connect. But it quickly gets boring.
Because, like you said, that's the reason for the $1 post (for those who care). Personally, for me it is how well they react to my content is what matters.
Otherwise I have no problems with folks asking me to follow them. I do it all the time. It doesn't benefit them much, obviously. And, like me, they will learn with time.
Or through posts like this... they get to see beyond the train tactics. :)
Thank you for your great comment! We all have to figure out what works for us and what doesn't. I just hope some of these posts help others in their journey :-)
Definitely with you here! This is a nice community we have here. <3
