I don't care who "follows" me. It doesn't do anything, really. Perhaps it grants me access to a gallery I wasn't going to look for in the first place. But sometimes, every rare once in a while, I find it weird or creepy. I always go check the profile in case I am familiar with them. When I see something like they've been a member for five years with fewer than 100 posts and every person they follow is on my ignore list, it's weird.
I feel like my standard is this. I will follow someone who has no need to wonder why. They know from previous interaction that I'm fond of him or her. I think it is sometimes weird, other times creepy, to find I'm being "followed" and have no idea why. Is it just me?
Follow-up. Am I rude for this? I NEVER acknowledge a "follow" from a stranger. If I do have familiarity, and I wish to return the favor, I simply do so, and rarely say anything about it. If I want to follow someone, I ask permission, or do it, and shoot over a note asking if it's okay that I followed. I honestly don't care whether or not someone talks to me about a "follow" if we have interacted a bit. Am I the odd one?
