Not a fan...it's tacky. If you put the work in, the followers will come. Heck, I've been here oh about 3 weeks I think and I haven't done anything to get the followers I have except post, curate, and comment.

Grant it, I'm at 79 followers as of this writing, so the numbers aren't astronomical, but it takes time and work, people.

I see a lot of people around here putting in the work, but I also see a lot of people copying and pasting and begging. Have you no shame!?!
