Popularity whores suck.

I think we all know someone that can't not have the most followers on twitter, or the most Friends etc? 
Recently its become even more annoying, since everyone is starting to go onto twitter, it seems that the whole point of it is to have enough followers even if you don't know that person. I swear most of the popularity whores tweets are "Re-tweet for a mention" Or their tagline is probably "I follow back!" So i other words its not that people like you, its because people want to be a popular whore like you. 

And by whore I don't just mean girls, boys are just as bad too.

For example there is a guy at my school, he literally boasts all the time that he has loads of followers, and people swarm to him to get mentioned and subsequently get followed by strangers. 
Well this whore decided to get tumblr, which is an amazing website, but after a week of using it he called it crap and "Didn't get what to do"

Really? You post photos, quotes, music on your own blog and get followers and re-blogs from people?
ITS THE SAME AS FUCKING TWITTER YOU DOUCHE. 
Instead of re-tweet, you re-blog. Idiot. 

So I casually asked how many followers he had, I only have like 170, but I'm not going out of my way to get them, people follow you because they like your photos, not because they want to be popular. He said he had 10, most of them were people he knew that were just being nice. 
The reason he doesn't have many followers is because his blog sucks, BIG TIME. Posting stupid iphone pictures and trying to make his own artistic "Love photos" they suck, and what does tumblr do to people like that? They spit them out, no popularity whores allowed.

So next time you think about joining a new social network, just think that not all of them are about having the most followers.
