Query:
And this is in all sincerity. I left the bird site in 2018, and never used it much before that.
What is the value of a “follow”? Why is the # of followers so important?
I understand if you’re doing marketing, or selling stuff. But why for normal people?
It doesn’t make sense to me.
When I walk into a bookstore, I pay zero attention to the best seller shelf. I ignore the loud flashy covers. Yes I enjoy discovery. But I do that by reading, or asking staff.
@corlin We now live in the age of the influencer... follower size matters for them. I prefer quality over quantity.
Follow
@fightgoddess
I too.
But is it a cultural thing that can be overcome???
@corlin For me, there is nothing to overcome. I choose to focus my energies on the work that needs to be done in my community..
