Experiment Why do some users not follow their followers back? This isn't aimed at anyone specific, just curious.

Every single poster would throw you under the bus for a woman.

 

[Cincel]

Like a quid pro quo?

 

[VideoGameCoper]

Yeah, ok, I have now followed everyone who followed me.

 

[Regenerator]

You can turn follow notifications off.

 

[VideoGameCoper]

You can turn follow notifications off.

Brutal, but why would you

 

[kay']

Why though, can you actually give an explanation

Incel gigachads dont follow

 

[Regenerator]

So your inbox does not get flooded.

Brutal, but why would you

 

[VideoGameCoper]

It is because you get off to feeling a superiority complex since so many follow you and you don't reciprocate.

Incel gigachads dont follow

Jfl a follow notification every few days isn’t exactly flooding anything

 

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

I basically follow anyone who follows me unless they are a retarded grey with no posts or low posts

Same here. Also, anyone except people who make their profiles unviewable, since I literally have no way of following them back.

 

[Ahnfeltia]

I don't bother with following and all that jazz, can't be assed tbh

 

[KillNiggers]

Chad only

 

[Emba]

I'm wondering about the same thing

This keeps me up at night too

 

[Emba]

I am almost at the hard # limit of following again...

 

[WeirdPanda]

Well in my case I use the follow feature more as a marker that I had a kind interaction with an user before.

It's nice to see some users have followed me, but I don't really see much of a purpose in following back for no reason. Just how I feel ig.

 

[Autistic Uggo]

I don't use the follow feature lol.

but

okay I'll follow u fren

 

[Dregster]

I'm still waiting for @Dregster to follow me

Over

That is never going to happen and I already told him twice that it is never going to happen

I've noticed many users who have been here a long time and don't follow any of their followers back, and I'm curious why. I basically follow anyone who follows me unless they are a retarded grey with no posts or low posts, since to me followers are the equivalent of a Facebook friend, and following them back indicates a sense of friendship.

Note that following someone does NOT blow up your notifications when they post, and does not affect you at all other than basically being the equivalent of a facebook friend, so as long as they are a good user I see no reason to not follow them back. I do not watch anyone though, as that is what blows up your notifs every time they make a thread and someone replies to it, so I see that feature as an annoyance.

Those who do not follow anyone back, is it because you choose to avoid personal ties to this community as a cope to feel less incel, is it because you get off to feeling a superiority complex since so many follow you and you don't reciprocate, or something else? This is something that's been on my mind for a while now so I figured I'd make a thread about it.

I forget to follow back

 

[oldNgreycel]

Nobody follows me

If you’re on mobile you can follow them back by clicking their profile once and then follow beck by clicking the button on the profile preview. But in pc it’s difficult as hell.

And let’s be real, they’re hiding something if they limit who views their profile. I only know of one profile hider who does it for good reason, since he thinks someone he knew irl knew about his account here, and he wants to keep a low profile

I see, thanks.

 

[Lazyandtalentless]

Nobody follows me

Fixed

 

[VideoGameCoper]

I see, thanks.

No problem

 

[VideoGameCoper]

Nobody follows me

Changed that, but I expect a follow in return

 

[ilieknothing]

I don’t use the feature, I click on threads

 

[VideoGameCoper]

That is never going to happen and I already told him twice that it is never going to happen

Why not tho

 

[VideoGameCoper]

I forget to follow back

Interesting

 

[VideoGameCoper]

Following has nothing to do with clicking on threads. It’s basically just equal to a Facebook friend. Watching is what gives you notifs when they post and that’s what I don’t ever use. I follow most who follow me but watch nobody because watching is annoying

[Wizardmaxxer]

I don't check too much who follows me

 

[VideoGameCoper]

I don't check too much who follows me

Don’t you get notifs when they follow you

 

[Anthrofurrcel]

Don’t you get notifs when they follow you

How? I get any

 

[VideoGameCoper]

How? I get any

I followed you a while ago and you followed back so you must have got a notif

 

[Anthrofurrcel]

I followed you a while ago and you followed back so you must have got a notif

I did get it

 

[VideoGameCoper]

I did get it

Good

 

[based_meme]

I don't believe anyone should follow anyone else. That's my philosophy in general, not just about the forum feature or "following" others using social media.

Just go about the forum and do your own thing. You don't need to follow anyone.

 

[Wizardmaxxer]

Don’t you get notifs when they follow you

I get them

Done and done

I just dont understand basic reciprocity. I had no idea this is proper internet behavior

 

[JKlancecaster069]

I didn't follow others back when I first joined because I wasn't sure of what it did.

 

[Fire]

I mainly follow those I've had private talks with or those whos posts I enjoy reading. I don't like when my news feed becomes cluttered

[LeFrenchCel]

I don't see the point of doing so

 

[manletcel1488]

I just don't follow people, it's a pointless feature and not really my style.

 

[Dregster]

Why not tho

Nah never followed anyone tbh, it starts getting annoying when being asked multiple times after getting told no multiple times

[Multicell]

Think of it the other way around.

A. When someone follows 600 people, while he has 600 followers also.
And you are one of the 600. Never talks with you.

B. Or someone follows 12 people, while he has 340 followers after years of being here.
And you are one of the 12.

C. Or Someone follows 1000 people, and you are not one of them, But he is nice(r) to you every day.

Who is the best ?

 

[BuFFooN]

I already follow my bro
