Social Media Patronizing

Social Media Patronizing: When you see someone in person and they say “I love your content” but they never actually comment on or “like” your posts or other content (depending on how the platform works) because they feel they’re better than, and don’t want the actual association.

That is social media patronizing.
Social Media Patronizing: Hey Mike, haven’t seen you in a while… omg, I LOVE following you on LinkedIn (but you know this person has NEVER engaged with you, not even a “like”).

This is a very condescending response from the person you haven’t seen in a while and claims they love to follow your content.
