Thanks so much for the lovely comment! When I first wrote this, I was a bit nervous that this was going to get some negative feedback, but it seems that most people actually feel this way! They feel pressured to try to support everyone, and then eventually come to the conclusion that it's not realistic! You have a really good strategy with supporting people without being bombarded by loads of tweets you actually don't want to see! Thanks for reading and commenting xx

I actually have a regular clear out of my feeds every few months and unfollow people who aren't active or annoy me. I actually unfollowed someone on Twitter this morning because almost every 5th or 6th tweet was one from them or a tweet of their's being retweeted by a RTaccount. I liked their content but it was just getting ridiculous.
Now I don't follow as many people, I tend to follow RTaccounts which keeps me up to date. I actually bookmark my fave blogs to make them easier to find so I can read them before I read anything else.

Great post Mel!

Thanks so much Caroline, I was a bit worried about the feedback I was going to get with this post, especially because twitter is such a "you should support everyone" sort of vibe. While I'm not going to shit on any blogger for doing their thing, I also won't follow, retweet, and read every single blogger's posts! It's actually impossible, so I just stick to following who I actually care about and supporting those people:) Thanks again for reading and giving me your thoughtful comment xx

I agree with everything you said. There's such a common dislike towards people who dont follow back. Tbh, ive never been personally offended when someone hasnt followed me back and neither should anyone else. Nobody owes nothing to anyone. Theres so much pressure to follow who follows you. Now I check to see if Ill actually enjoy their content and what they tweet and post. I enjoyed reading this, keep up the good work.

Omg tell me about it, having one of everything is tough, I don't know how some people have more than one of each account!

Exactly! I'm glad you can see things my way. I understand that it's important to discover new bloggers, but I don't think it's realistic or actually even smart to force people to follow everyone back. Thanks so much for reading and your thoughtful comment 🙂 x

I don't think I'd be able to handle more than one Instagram account! It's already tough for me to post on my one account. I'm glad it works for you! Thanks for reading and including your input 🙂 xx
