Adding content and citations

Hello,

I will be adding some additional content and sources to this page. I’d like to touch on the effects of social media followers and friends. This will help provide different views of having a large following.

Added additional information

Hi all,

I added a little more information to help build this article out. I added the definition of friend collecting, why users have multiple accounts, unfriending and unfollowing. I included my citations as well. Please let me know if you find any errors in my work.

Thanks. MadasynConner (talk) 02:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
