Hey Ileane, glad you liked it, and found it fun Yeah, these automated and impersonal DM’s are really annoying. As said before here in the comments, I had the function enabled too for a short while, but am glad that I disabled it again.

True, I believe in NOT sending DM’s to people unless you really want to have a conversation. I have to admit that I had the auto-DM function ON for a short while, but was very fast to disable it again.

Hi,
I find those automated DM’s very annoying. They say – hi thanks for following check out my site.

If I’m following you, trust me – I have already checked out your site!

Thanks for the post, it was fun to read.

I think one of the biggest pains is actually having the DM sent to me all the time. I stop following people when they start doing that. Especially automated non specific messages.
