Taal17:I donβt think itβs the same. If I post helpful info on my timeline and people reach out on my dm. I either redirect them to my timeline or respond to their specific info. He was recently called out, and I wasnβt surprised because my own message Dey e dm over 4 months now π. Btw, if you try to tell me his dm is full bla bla bla, Iβll tell you itβs not true. Because I ran social media campaigns that brought over 300 messages daily for several months and every single person got their response. Thatβs because I needed to respond to them. βοΈ |

You ran social media campaigns for profitable purposes I suppose? So you had a duty to be up and doing with timely responses regardless of the volume of messages. Your case and his case are not the same. Thatβs not the case with him, he already puts out helpful info, if you have to message him to ask questions that wonβt translate to coins in his pocket, heβs not obliged to give a timely response. Itβll be nice if he does, but itβll be unfair to tag him as a bad person or other implied bad tags because heβs not responding to a barrage of dms. Iβm sure if the likes of Duchess and co allowed people to contact them via email, Nigerians would have already started calling her names because sheβs not responding even after the loads of helpful info she publicly gives. gmacnoms: 6 Likes |
