Why I'm Not Following You Back

A short blog post to explain why I'm not always following back:
1. you don't tweet or have/spread (interesting) content - it seems hard but I'm sure you can understand
2. obviously, you wanna sell me something - even if I'm a marketeer... I'm in the first place a consumer (in search of interesting content/ content curation)
3. it's always about you

I don't agree with specialists who declare that you have to follow back every person who subscribes to your tweets. Some people are on twitter to catch news about specific content, like my boyfriend for example. He never tweets.

Other people are interested in many topics but always tweet about one item that doesn't matters to you AT ALL. What will be the point to follow them back? One example: I follow some stand-up comedians and  quotes specialists. I totally understand that these people don't follow me back. In my eyes, social media helps me to stay up-to-date about specific topics I'm interested in. The fact that some specialists comment and retweet my (own) content is a major plus. But what I like the most is to help other people and sources to get attention. Even if sometimes I think: I should have written that!!! :-)
