Been saying this for awhile now to anyone who would listen. It doesn't help that some clients auto load all of those folks as follows for freshers. It becomes a reinforced feedback loop. 

I make it a point to go through several hashtags that I'm interested in and try to find people with small followings and comment on their content on a daily basis. 

 I 100 percent agree. 

 Lol. Yeah I've also been saying this feedback loop too.

You kind of hope that everyone knows how social media works and client recommendations are oftent to be ignored, like on 'legacy social media'.
