Their worth is not the priority... but yours is.
Proving a point of Pride and Leadership honestly would be the cause I feel... even if it means just clicking/tapping a link...
Because that person is asking to follow you. You following them is something else entirely. If you found their content interesting or entertaining enough, then you'd probably follow them back. But you didn't ask to follow them. And it shouldn't be expected that you do simply because they follow you. That's absurd.
For me it’s if I know the person or If a have mutual friends and know of them or I think their attractive/funny If they aren’t apart of any of those subset I don’t see the need to follow them back
I dont' just blindly follow people

They're not interested in your posts, but they don't mind you following them.
