Does it annoy you that it seems that some hubbers follow other hubbers just for the follow back?
Maybe it is just me but, I have noticed that some hubbers will have a list of others that they all of the sudden fallow. One right after the other. Within seconds or minutes from each other. Like "I'll follow this guy so maybe he will fill obligated to follow me back."
It can be annoying. In the worst cases, I see nothing wrong with reporting such serial followers as well.
I don't get annoyed. We all have reasons for following and for following back. We just have to respect them. After all, we're all here to help one another and get our hubs read by as many people as possible.
Personally I follow other hubbers when I like their articles. I do not expect them to follow me back, but it is nice to receive nice feedback. The hubbers who expect to follow them back do not annoy me, because following is the way to spread the word about your hubs inside the community. There are many hubbers who have many follows because they write great hubs, while others are trying to earn followers by following. It is nor a crime, just a way to advertise yourself.
Yeah, it's just you. It makes no odds to me what other hubbers do.
I am not annoyed, it is up to them to do what they want. maybe I am doing something that annoy them too.
It doesn't annoy me as I don't really think about what other hubbers do or don't do. I think everyone can do what they feel is right for their hubs and for exposure.
Well I have over 1000 fans - I'd be very happy if they all read everyone of my hubs but they don't! Most simply add me because they see I have a lot of other fans and a lot of other hubs and therefore assume I will visit all their hubs. Others simply add everyone they can hoping to get some fans back.
Personally it doesn't really matter - I realize that I perhaps have a couple of dozen real fans - and if they like my work then that's all I care about!
Hmmmm....I've never followed anyone until I read your question. So you're the first person I've followed. Let's see if you follow back.
I am not annoyed if u follow me i be happy and i follow u.
I just learn from all people what makes me happy.
Like reading newspaper everyday with different article

We need a better way to classify and group our followers and the people we are following,here is my suggestion at the very least.For Followers.A way to determine follower loyalty levels,perhaps a simple scoring system only to be seen by you that will tell you how many times a follower has commented...

Before following someone, at least you should read his/her hub or profile. I think, there are many reason rather than his or her beautiful face to follow him/her.

In my years on this site I have seen so many people randomly follow me in hopes that I follow them back. And then as soon as I do, if the topics they write on interest me, they delete me from the hubbers they're following?Do you guys really think this makes people want to read and comment on...

Hi All, So, this might not seem in the spirit of hub pages comeraderie, but I am a little uncomfortable with having a particular member follow me. The name is ZAGOOTO, and he has no profile information, no hubs, but 11 followers. Who on earth is this person? Why is he "following" people...
