 Human beings have not evolved beyond Dunbars number. To assume that anyone *can* or *should* keep up with the interactions produced by people choosing to follow them, when they exceed Dunbars number by orders of magnitude is to ask them to be inhuman. 

When the unrealistic expectations we have put on them are not being met we become aggrieved. We feel slighted because we were not interacted with as a fellow human should.

Are we justified being aggrieved, IMO no. The technology is putting us in situations that will create the kind of feeling, slighted on one side and apathy on the other. Either don’t use the technology or use it with the limits of humanity in mind.
