This may seem like a silly question about “FOLLOWERS” on Instagram, coming from someone who only arrived on the network at a very late stage and probably hasn’t figured it all out yet …
Why do some people absolutely want to follow and be ‘friends’ with everyone on this planet?
Should we feel obliged to find out what people we don’t know have had for breakfast in the morning?
Do all those pages we subscribe to, always publish subjects that interest us?
What do people do after subscribing to hundreds of accounts to avoid being bothered by those bells and whistles that constantly warn you that new content is being published?
OK, so they have the option of deactivating the notifications (😂very recent discovery…).
But why become a ‘follower’ of someone if it’s not to follow them and be notified of the very interesting events in their life?
Do those who follow hundreds of people have the time to really take an interest in all their many ‘friends’?
And what happens to our real friends in the midst of all this?
Do we have time to pay them a little attention when they need it?
I have read your last articles as a life diary, I appreciate that you have come back because your creativity and humor is a great support for KHJ.
I met KHJ a year ago, at a very painful stage and their music and laughter were a balm, that’s why I became a fan. Sharing admiration for an artist is a bond, I think, obviously that’s not enough to make a friendship (my real friends don’t necessarily like my favorite artist)
I have followed accounts of other fans on twitter, Instagram, etc.
When an account stops posting, I think: Is she too busy? Or sick? Or tired? Or disappointed? I think this world of social media can be like life itself and end abruptly to my sadness. And that restlessness is friendship? No, but it looks like honey, right?
