All this gaming of followers stuff is alien to me.

You might as well do things that you love doing, you'll get more satisfaction in the end. - TDavid

"I just haven't been able to get into all the who is following who stuff popularity stuff. It seems like the kind of thing we grew out of -- or should have grown out of -- once school was out.

I don't want to be somebody's 'follower' and yet that's the name ascribed to anybody that I click on to 'listen' to or 'watch' which I think are more apt. I don't make choices of what I like based on popularity, do you Dave? I will admit that popularity might lead me to check out something which I guess is the point of why somebody would want a zillion followers on these services but at the same time I'd rather have 1 person listen or watch what I'm doing because s/he liked it versus 1,000 who do it because of some (likely fleeting) popularity thing. What I think will happen going forward is that the people who were in this for phony popularity contests will fade away and the people who do it because they enjoy it will go on. As it should be.
