Ahh yes, I see. I've come across this person too. I also went on the same guilt trip and did the obligatory apologise, follow, read, before thinking 'hang on a minute'... unfollow and 'mute'. It's a horrible way to carry on. It worked well for him though, based on his early earnings having only been on a platform a few weeks. He was bragging about it. Then he had the audacity to post a piece saying he would no longer follow everyone who followed him - having been telling us all to do exactly that - unless they read his stories and engaged regularly.
Write interesting stuff mate, so people WANT to read. I'm done.
