I honestly generally only keep real friends on my social media, and it's incredibly obnoxious to meet someone who seems genuinely friendly out in the world and has you add them on social media only to find out you are just a way to buff their numbers. Like this has happened enough times that I think the next time a stranger has me add them I'm going to immediately scroll their shit to see what's up and tell them to fuck themselves if I find out that's their game.
Yeah, I tried getting into various social groups over the past 3 years or so only to discover most of them were just looking to network real estate deals, or grow their financial tips youtube channel or whatever
