You know, sometimes (okay: all the time) I write off Twitter compliments on my work from strangers simply because I'm sure the charming-sounding complimenter is just trying to "engage", to "connect", to add "nodes" to their "ecosystem".
Immediately the initial spark of charm passes, I'm left with the thought, "Oh, but they didn't really mean it." Stupid, huh?
Or is it? Seriously, people go around laboriously tweeting to others in order to "build eminence" and "implement strategy". They do. I'm not kidding. Everyone's your friend on social media, even when it only suits them. In most cases, only because it suits them. I'm serious.
Man, this social media paranoia is really fucking with my head.
