A marketing initiative on
social media to encourage
people to follow other users. It is not a bad thing since it can increase your follower count and if you're on Instagram, but on Twitter, these are sent out as a form of inconvenience since it allows every tagged person to
blast the others tagged with every reply, like, and retweet the tweet gets. This is especially true if the user doesn't know any of the other users tagged and can be a nuisance if the number of users tagged is large.
Chris: Dude, Angie needs to stop adding me to these Follow Fridays on Twitter. I don't even know who half these users are and I always have to deal with the bullcrap of them blowing up my timeline and notification inbox with GIFs.
Kyle: I know man, they're annoying. Remember the
time she tagged both of
us in the same Follow Friday? At least you can say "bye" and mute the conversation before anyone starts talking dirty or
whatever.
Sydney: She tagged me this morning. I blocked her so that I don't have to deal with this again.
