Your accounts are all so pretty! Following everyone
I am going to follow everyone too! A question for those of you that have been #bookstagramming for longer… I just started last week and am getting followers. Lately I notice single middle aged men with private accounts and 0-15 followers. My teenager (aka technology consultant) says 'what does it matter, anyone can follow you." It just seems a little weird to me- is this common? Thoughts?
followed (I am bookmom22)- I think you have to approve?)
@julied they’re all over Twitter too. Apparently there are a lot of rich lonely surgeons and generals who are “honest men looking for a good woman.” They’re pretty much cat fishing accounts. I just don’t follow them back. Be prepared to delete all their “hi” DMs too
Thank you! Followed back.
Hi. I can be found at @intoxicating_reads. I’ll follow back!. Looking forward to reading your posts.
OK, thanks, that’s helpful!! One is actually keanureeves4032-
Ha! I think I may have Prince Harry in there
A lot of the time people are only interested in follow backs, and may unfollow you if you don’t. Otherwise a lot of the time these people are bots, designed to automatically follow random people. Not too sure, tho!
The DMs… they’re so annoying.
Ugh @a_little_big_reader It’s so annoying. I even have in my bio that I’m wife and mom, like I have any time for your internet bot romance
Once I had to tell someone that I was in my 60s and from Switzerland to get them to BACK OFF
Oh yea i get those. i just block them. I’m not on it for followers and since my page isn’t private I block any that make me question whats on the other side
I’m SO over the bots… But I do giveaways at milestone follower amounts (my next is 500) so they just get me to give free books to someone sooner!
