Have you ever pondered why you hit that follow button or feel a surge of excitement when someone follows you back? We unfold the layers of online followership, sharing stories from our What the Nell!? community, including insights from Kelly Johnson who seeks followers not for fame but for genuine connection. My own journey, particularly with our Kenny and Nell YouTube channel, reveals a craving to share knowledge and make a difference, rather than merely playing a numbers game. The dance of digital connections is nuanced and personal, and we invite listeners to consider their own motives in the grand social media ballet. Diving deeper, we tackle the complexities of maintaining a positive presence in the vast sea of social media. From the decision to unfollow accounts that dampen our spirits to the unexpected camaraderie found in following competitors, we navigate these waters with a clear vision of community and growth. The conversation takes a turn to address the pandemic's impact on our content choices, advocating for a selective and authentic approach to our online diet. As we tackle the importance of quality over quantity, join us in redefining the value of each follow and follower in our connected world.
