I hate that, too. And there was one instance in which the business person I’d followed back hit on me. He was blocked without any explanation — he didn’t deserve one.

I’m shocked at how many “writers” are out there pushing the exact same sales tweet every damn day, too. It smacks of desperation.

Also, something on Twitter that drives me nuts — someone will follow me; their profile looks interesting, so I follow back; the first contact is a DM trying to sell me something. That’s an immediate unfollow. As far as social media goes, if our only interaction is you trying to sell me something, I’m not interested. If I find you interesting, yes, I’ll probably buy the product. But I’m on social media for the social as much as the selling.
