I really don't like the "follow" game
I'm sorry I just don't get your aim
There's no prize as we're all the same
What do you hope to achieve, fame?
I don't want to point fingers and blame
But you know who you are looking for acclaim
So follow and unfollow, glad you came
I won't mention you, at least not by name.

@chickgamer I'm thinking maybe it's time to take my words elsewhere...it's just getting too instawhore-ish around here
@Irrational_Kimmi I wanted to name this instawhore as well lol like the bullshit with the quote thing, and this sheep following from Instagram...It's annoying. Like there's some good new writers, but they're being overshadowed by crap pieces
@chickgamer exactly. When a copied, attention-seeking quote by a jumped up instawhore gets so many likes I just wonder if there's any point posting good stuff any more. It's sad and like you said, the new, original and talented writers get missed. Boo Opuss, boo indeed. Maybe they should change the system to have 'top' for each category?
@HarleyQuinn there's nothing wrong with a quote every now and again but like you said, it's the mindless 'like-for-like' flock that's pissing me off
@HarleyQuinn totally agree. I like quotes, but I'd also like to know who wrote it. Not using it to get attention/likes.@Irrational_Kimmi or maybe verify the top is original and worthy. But I like top of each category idea
@chickgamer @Irrational_Kimmi read @Bluegerbil's 'War of Light' and check out just how good it is. And then realise its not gonna reach the heights it should because of what's going on today. Dreamcatcher told me she's 'expressing herself'. Having read Bluegerbil's piece, there's absolutely no comparison. I'm gutted for Bluegerbil today ๐ข๐ข๐ข
@leelee101 I've read it, it's a wonderful write but it deserves so much more recognition. It's a shame it won't due to the sheep culture ๐ข
@HarleyQuinn nothing, just she's written what in my opinion is probably one of the pieces of the day, but it won't get the recognition it deserves because of all the quoters and their buddies doing likey likes ๐ข๐ข
