How do you choose to follow people on GAG? Any specific criterias you have?

Good question. I'm not entirely sure if this is all of them. There definitely could be more. Also, there's no order of importance for this. I kinda see these all as being mostly equal determinants.

• Are they pleasant to interact with? Even with others?
• How authentic do they come across? Are they consistent?
• What are their general intentions? Aka, are they trustworthy?
• Do they seem like a reasonable person in their beliefs & actions?
• Why should I value following them? Can I learn something from them?

And of course, each one of these & whatever else added would adapt to the person and their circumstances. 👌

But I don't limit this to gag follows. This is how I'd respect anyone. And oftentimes, I don't think to follow people on gag &/or I don't want to because I don't want to be bombarded by notifications.

[Aguysopinion4799]

I don't go by a list of criteria, it isn't a interview on who is worthy of following, it's a matter of when I visit different questions and how much I think I have in common with the person.

I sometimes later on in years decide that there are some that I don't have anything in common with them or less in common and so I might unfollow some, but while I do this to try and avoid their posts, I sometimes get invited to them regardless if they are following me.

I don't frequently do this though, it is a rare thing for me to start unfollowing people, I only did it on three different days of being on this site where I ended up filtering through my existing followers and getting rid of some of them because they were a bit toxic or completely offline.

I don't follow as many people anymore because 1- the fake accounts that were created to harass me or stalk my posts..
And 2-users I had followed caught 2 that had multiple accounts, the one he or she🤷 deleted the second account when called him on it but don't mean didn't have more or creates more

[Zelda_5]

If they don't act perverted. The one person I followed asks how do I look questions for the most part and always likes my answer, which I like. I don't follow anyone else cuz they're all perverts. /hj

[MCheetah]

- They frequently ask good questions. @coachTanthony,
- I often agree with them; on more than just one or two things.
- They're intelligent or articulate. @hellionthesagereborn @A_Bell
- They have a good sense of humor. @lanadelrey25 (RIP)
- They're a nice person or come off pleasant and likable. @friendlydrugdealer, @JosyJosy
- They really like me back.

respect

oh and Open, I’m very open and appreciate it in others...

I am a nightmare to get on with, but I have some really good crowd that make up our GaG family.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Your definitely not a nightmare!

[natured]

To be honest, when we click on comments, I don't follow random people. I like to talk and debate, I even became friends with a Guy here that hated my guts and we had infinite Comment sessions arguing and killing each other. But we became good buddies. So i think if I follow somebody I have to get impressed.

[Anon621]

Right now I'm not really following to many people myself on GAG. I usually just come on here, share my options on whatever I want to share my opinions on, ask a couple of questions infrequently when I get tired of sharing opinions and my questions mostly seem to never get many answers, and then come back every so often to repeat the same cycle again

[OlderAndWiser]

I have 27,351 followers today. Whenever someone follows me, I follow them if they are an older user, if they are a new user and don't yet have any followers, or if they have posted something that resonates with me.

[Xitomyth]

Depends on the content and context of their posts/replies. I won't follow a political nut, as in someone who is ruled by politics and constantly talks about it instead of the the content of the post they respond to.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Their demeanor, intelligent conversation, humor, similar situations.

[FunkyMonkee]

Usually, I don't follow anyone. If someone becomes a friend here, I might follow them. In some cases, I might break down and follow someone just because they followed me.

[Everglow5]

I don't really understand following people. I followed three people in the very beginning of me creating my account then never followed anyone else ever again.

[karaspara]

I follow people who's questions/comments have interested me and also tend to follow back people who have followed me.

[menina]

If I see that we agree on many topics and if they respect me I follow them. Sometimes they follow me back or follow me first.

[Andres77]

Kinky thinkers or political of like mind or in some cases opposing views but can shape an argument very well and offer new perspectives without being confrontational.
I appreciate cleverness.

[SphynxUK]

I barely follow anyone. If I have, it’s usually because I was asked to message them further.

[exitseven]

If they post a couple of thought provoking questions or opinions I will follow them. Sometimes if they follow me I will follow them as well.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would make good questions and also Welcome people to follow you
and always post positive questions/ post

[rcljr]

I don’t follow people, I give sage advice to serious questions and I stir absolute shit with the trolls and agenda pushers.

[andreasderjuengere]

I have only one guideline for it: I don't follow.
Nothing personal - I just don't see a practical benefit.

[Uptowngirl88]

-Interesting questions and those who offer great advice on post

- they don't have multiple sex/pervert questions

[Still-alive]

Usually as long as they aren’t level 1s have a decent personality and i can sense they are a genuine person i give them a follow

[Browneye57]

I don't follow anyone and I don't ask questions. That ought'a tell ya somethin' right there. LOL

[Starwitch23]

If I can have a good conversation with that person. Then I would follow that guy or girl.

[JosyJosy]

I liked their opinions or posts, that's about it

[ThisDudeHere]

If I got to know them somehow then I follow them.

[humanearth]

I dont follow unless they are a real friend

[Alejandro3000]

If I like what they write and gel with me

[DaveToo]

If they follow me, I follow them.

[John_Doesnt]

I've never followed anyone.

[_no_one_]

Ones that match the vibe
