FAKE INSTAGRAM FAMOUS....Really, my soapbox for today, smh!

1/6/2019

Oh my goodness, it really is something else the extent that many people go through to become "fake famous." I've heard they buy likes and followers, but the one that really gets under my skin is when they follow you only for a follow, just to unfollow you.

Really, is it that serious? I can hear them now, Yes, I want to be an Influencer and get big deals. With Life, it all catches up with ya. If you don't have real followers, you won't have real sales and ....you know the rest.

Take the time and learn from all these Pros how to develop "Real" interaction. I guess there's a high off of a false ego and a bunch of fake friends.

Yes, I like to grow my followers, especially as a new and up and coming actress, and I also welcome trying new strategies to have real positive interactions: like games and giveaways but the trickery, no thank you.

Now that Y'all's bag of tricks are out, I hope this phenomena starts to drift away. As for me, I have since learn if I see 22K Followers and 1,875 Following, I will keep on moving forward.

Then I also noticed that Semi-Famous Actors will Like your post with a goal of being followed. Though I'm not so happy about this either, lol, but at least this is acceptable. You can decide if that person is someone you want to follow with the upfront knowledge that 9.9 times out of 10, they have no plans on following back. Then the day comes, you meet them on set and now you are becoming famous, too...Will they follow back? Lol, the drama continues :)

So How do you feel about this "follow to unfollow" agenda?
Tips on getting "real" followers are welcomed!

I'm new to Instagram and learned all this the hard way. I followed everybody that was following me and when I thought I was increasing in number and potential network I ended up with the tricksters. You know, the ones who follow not for relationship or support but merely to build their number and move on. It is beyond stupid they think I would purchase anything from them in this manner. They seek to prey on the weak in numbers; can you imagine doing business with such? No thank you.

Funny enough, I thought about doing a video on this to just ask WHY. What does it profit them. They just wasted their time following to unfollow because they lost more than just a follower. They too lost with me for instance trusting them.

The SILLY ONES.

You are absolutely correct. I am like this is not the type of person I would want to do business with or follow. Playing the "Unfollow" game to build their own platform will cost them more in the long run.
Character is everything!

Update: I now have the unfollow tool, and I am so happy. It's been a trip seeing who has the nerve to play these games, smh! Hoping to make more solid e-network on the gram. Hope you are having a Happy Sunday!
