[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Come on. It’s a huge public FU because people track that.

Did you not see the absolute sh-t storm when Travis unfollowed Ryan? They knew that it would be public with an hour. It’s a public way of saying I no longer like this person without having to put out a statement and if you don’t think it has impact, look at [b]the Sony executives absolutely freaking out when it happened because they were afraid of what it would do to the movie. It mattered a lot.[/b]

But yes, it’s incredibly childish. It’s just a bunch of toddlers lashing out.[/quote]

But the movie was very successful despite the "great unfollowing." It turns out it didn't matter at all, and that the number of people who will decide to go see a movie based on whether or not the cast is following the director on instagram is not an important number.[/quote]

You are missing the point though - they were freaking out because it is a big deal that would get public attention. They didn’t know whether it would go one way or the other, but they knew it would have an impact.

You or whoever asked that question said what’s the big deal about unfollowing. The big deal about unfollowing is that people notice that it makes a statement. They wanted to send a signal if they didn’t like Justin and it worked.

In hindsight, I’m sure sony was thrilled that the movie did so well but after all this, I’m not so sure. A lot of Hollywood has been pushed on their a$$ because of these leaked texts and emails.

And it’s clearly messed up any chances for a sequel. [/quote]
