WHO IS UNFOLLOWING ME?
With the omnipresence of social media outlets, the ever-existing social hierachy has found a new way of revealing itself in terms of the number of followers/friends/fans a person has. Obviously, the more followers you have, the more relevant/important/cool you are. The promise of social media of a more democratic form of communication gives hope to not-so-popular people that they might create/maintain a profile that would hopefully increase their own popularity. Therefore, it is always disappointing to realize that yet another person has unfollowed you, despite your best efforts on the medium. This project deals with the fear of rejection and the obsession with popularity by making a list of all the accounts that have unfollowed me over time. The unfollowers are sent a link to a survey asking the reason(s) they chose to unfollow me, in order to confront them directly and prompt them to honestly question their own motivations for following and unfollowing and for being a perpetuator of this social media hierarchy.
