It's only really douchebags who do this. The only thing that's good about more followers, is that more people will hear what you have to say. This is a good thing. "Status" in all shapes and forms is a pretty retarded social construct to say the least. I don't care if you have followers, have a nice car, have a cushy job or have an iPhone. I care about what someone does and says.
- tluyben2 15y agoBut a lot (LOT) of people spend their entire day comparing the size of their ehm things with others and only 'feel happy' when theirs is bigger. Twitter (and Facebook as well) shows what happens everywhere, in most houses of most people, but then in public. That's what makes it, for me, quite bad advertising for the human race, even the more technological inclined.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoSo what, why do you care? A lot of people use their cars as a status symbol, should that stop you from using a car?
- tluyben2 15y agoI don't care, but most people do :)
- InclinedPlane 15y agoMost people do not drive sports or luxury cars. Most people on twitter do not have thousands of followers. Maybe most people desire such things but most people seem to get by without them.
- tluyben2 15y agoDoesn't say they like it; I know plenty of people who look in envy when their neighbor buys a slightly more expensive middle class sedan and will replace their own as fast as they can, even though they can impossibly pay for that. So no, they don't get by, they just do it on a different scale; no sports cars, but with big screen tvs, middle class cars etc. You think most people buy the latest 3d tv because they want to watch stuff in 3d? Some people probably do, most just want to have something more than others.
