A lot of local musicians who have their own personal facebook pages, would have a lot of friends in their friends lists. Meaning, they would have somewhere between 1,000 to 5,000 friends or way more. Not me.

I don’t care to have that many friends. I like to keep my facebook page, short and simple. What I use it for, is to keep in touch with family, friends, people I knew from high school, supporters/fans, local musicians, people who I think are interesting or cool to me, etc. I don’t add a bunch of random people. I’m very selective and choosy of who I add and don’t add.

I believe that those people who add a bunch of people randomly, are just desperate for attention. Not naming names. They just want to make themselves look popular online when they are not really. And I’m pretty sure, that other people didn’t send them add requests. They go around trying to add as many people as possible, to see if they actually accept them.

Of course, if you call them out on this, they would think it’s marketing or promoting of their music, when you know that’s a flat out lie.

I’m okay with adding a bunch of random people on my facebook music fanpage, but with my personal facebook, no.
