[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a mark of me not "getting" social media, but I have never understood why people got so worked up about Blake and other cast members (and I guess Hoover and perhaps some others) unfollowing Justin on Instagram. They didn't like him. I also don't follow people I dislike on Instagram. If I was a public person and someone asked me "why did you unfollow so-and-so on Instagram" I'd say "none of your business, that is not something you should care about" because... it's not.

It just seems like a weird amount of drama over something that I think really, really does not matter. It's just the shallowest possible thing. [/quote]

Personally, I agree, but I begrudgingly admit it seems to be a very big deal to some people (such as when Kelce unfollowed Reynolds) and celebs apparently do use it to signal. If it were up to me I would never be aware of who follows whom because I don't follow any of these people and I certainly don't comb through their friends list to notice when they followed or unfollowed someone. But it's a thing, so I guess if I were Hoover or whoever and I just didn't like someone, I would mute them and follow them to keep the peace because unfollowing would create drama. Therefore I infer that if they unfollow, they mean that as a message to the public.

It's so, so dumb. And it really does come off ridiculous to be like "oh, we had to have this plan to destroy this person - which we can't write down - because they might UNFOLLOW me."

Maybe one day California will introduce a defamation claim for "false light unfollowing."[/quote]
