Looooool. I had a guy DM me once bc not only did I unfollow, but I was using the comment tool and deleted the comment after X amount of days. He was so mad.
I had a client get a lot of salty DM’s when I went through and purged a lot of old followers at the client’s request. Some people just take it so personally, as if a follow is starting some kind of real relationship. I’ve never understood that mentality but a lot of people are just looking for excuses to get upset it seems.
Well I guess if you don’t have anything productive to do with your client’s account this is a nice way to spend the valuable time they’re paying you for?
I got a DM once from a guy being all like “I know what you’re doing and I’m onto you, bla bla”. Apparently really proud of himself for spending time every day on a separate app to watch who unfollows him so he can send them messages.
What a dumbass. F/Uf isn’t a good indication of a spam account; spam is a good indication of a spam account. Some people are just looking to get their panties in a bunch I guess.
Yeah. I’m not an active Instagram user (on my personal account) so I haven’t experienced what it’s like to receive heaps of F/UF requests, but as a consumer I’m more than comfortable with it as a marketing strategy, especially for lower budget local businesses and shops. It’s just like any advertising that’s trying to get exposure. As long as it’s not excessively harassing people then it seems like a very good medium. That’s obviously just a subjective two-cents opinion though.
The way I see it is that it’s pretty industry standard, considering most of us here do it for a source of income. People are always confused and angry when I tell them that it’s pretty standard unless you have thousands a month to invest.
That’s still acceptable, sometimes you get those who start talking ethically and they will report you.
Solution:
I just go to some panels, buy some comments, put some insults and then I watch them and laugh like crazy cuz they reply they ask friends to reply, they go sooo maaad lmafaoooo
I manage models and each of them has her own “after follow boyfriend” a follow a bunch of likes and they think she fell in love with them lol, when she unfollow them its like the end of the world ahahaha
But the best DMs are sent to adult accs, though I don’t have the courage to read them but im pretty sure there ll be many laughs inside lol
Obviously not to all, just to those that cross the line, starts with insults/saying that they will ask friends to report ur acc etc. etc.
What makes me laughs its that all these peps talk about ethics and then have “spywares” such Instagram/Facebook installed and they re addicted. They dont even know what a real activist is.
…And they tryna to lowering the trust score of my acc, oh they ll be, fried hens.
This regularly happens. In one of my test accounts, someone even left a comment so that people “could see” his comment and “raise awareness” yeah right.
