The Follower Count is a Lie: Something I’ve been thinking of ever since I got a pretty big follower count


Hey everyone, today we will talk about an issue some of you will definitely know about. First, have you ever been in this situation?

Followers: 200

Average likes on a post: 5

Different people commenting: 1 or 2

If you can’t understand what I’m trying to say, you have many followers but not many interact with your posts. I’ve been noticing this issue on many people’s accounts, even mine. And because of this, I’ve really been thinking: “How many actual fans do I have?”.

One of the many issues this causes is that when you post. a link to your content on a different platform, or you want them to follow you account on said other platform, you get barely any likes or subscribers/followers. This is pretty demotivating for a lot of people that work pretty hard on what they do, and could possibly be one of the final nails in their coffin of leaving.

Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this as this is an error caused by us humans and how we act. Sure I can say that “TOGETHER WE CAN ALL SOLVE THIS!!!1!1!1!”, but let’s be honest, this is social media. No promises ever last here.

If you agree with some or all my points, I ask you to PLEASE share this post with others, I need to see how many people are affected by this feeling. Thank you for reading this far, and goodbye.

Inferno didn't lie when we said we were cooking! Anyways, here's the silly flashlight mechanic in demonstration. Totally didn't cause me to go insane because the other hallway wouldn't work, what do ya mean?

Oh I know what exact game can deal with improving my mental health... :)

I did not know that Mspaint hijacked the GJ quest for this...

i beat pac man arrangement (the ps vita one) yesterday. I hated the final boss.

Because literally everyone is doing this, here's my totally epic sprunki oc that I took hours of my life to draw and totally did not make in a few minutes. His name is Gob and he exists. The things he has on his belt are crayons and totally not bullets.

Based off the incident a few days ago and NOT yesterday's. That one wasn't me!

this is how i feel about sprunki now

Well, while I wished this had more votes (I have only 8 followe-), at least this taught me that hopefully the for you page is a little helpful. Unfortunately most people will scroll by so getting more popular is basically a dead idea for me. Fuuuuuuuuuck.
