Totally agree. It's getting ridiculous. I'm fed up with them. Publish a decent story and I might consider it. The problem is, it's the 100 followers thing for newbies. I've obliged once or twice (only if they've published a decent story) because I do sympathise - it took me AGGGGGEEEEES to reach 100, but honestly, it's just getting ridiculous. And annoying. And half of them don't even speak English. Not properly anyway.
