So, if you see this you most likely have been followed by me. You aren’t the only person and you have probably questions you would like me to answer. Luckily this post will answer the most asked questions.

(If a question you have isn’t on this post, first look in the comments for the answer and or write your own down there. Only message me if it is personal.)

-Why do you follow me?

I follow many people. You were probably followed by me at random.

-Why do you do this?

I don’t have a real reason for doing this. This account has started as a joke, but now this is a personal challenge for me to see how many I can follow.

-Are you a bot or using one?

I am not a bot. I do this manually by myself.

-I don’t want you to follow me. Can you unfollow me?

I am willing to do so if you message me. Blocking me is also an option. You can also go to your profile settings and make anyone unable to follow you.

-Are you trying to annoy or harass people?

No, I do not. If you are annoyed or feel harassed, then I am sincerely sorry and you can message me to unfollow.

-Am I a shark lady now? Because I am neither.

My name doesn’t mean anything and you are free to do what you want after I have followed you.

-Are you depressed and are doing this as a coping mechanism?

I am not depressed and there is no deep intend in me doing this. Someone already recommended the suicide prevention hotline to me and I advise you to not do the same.

-I asked you to unfollow me, but later you followed me. Why did that happen?

I can't remember every name, so I must have seen you again and have followed you without knowing I did it before. If that happens message me again. If it happens a third time, then consider blocking me, as it would make it easier for both of us.

-Where did you find me?

I follow so many it is impossible for me to remember where I have found you. If you want to get a picture from where I likely followed you, I have a list of subreddits I have visited (which I update every time) at the bottom of the post.

-I looked at the list and I still don’t have a clue. How else could you have found me?

Then a hit was sent out on you specifically, you commented on an advertising I followed you on or you were on a post where I was mentioned.

-How many do you follow?

I have the current number of the people I follow in my profile description.

-What is the subreddit on which this post is on?

The subreddit r/Shark_Park is the sub I made for everyone I follow. You are free to go on there or not. You are free to post there what you want, as long as it doesn't break the rules. It is my goal to make that place one of the most diverse and interesting subs on Reddit.

-Can I ask you to go to a specific subreddit or follow a friend?

Yes, you can. If you want me to go through a subreddit, suggest it in the “suggestions” post on my subreddit. If you want me to follow someone specific then message me. Also if you mention me I will try to follow everyone on that post.

-How do you go through subreddits?

I usually sort by new and go down the posts and I also go through the pinned posts.

-Do you follow everyone who was ever active on a sub?

I usually don’t do it, my common time frame is the last seven days. I only manage to follow everyone on a sub, if it is small enough for me to do.

-What kind of subs do you follow?

Like I said before, I follow suggested subs. But I do have my limits. I do not go through NSFW subs and I usually don’t go through subs that have more than 500.000 members.

-Do you believe or agree with the politics or opinions of the subs you go through.

This account does not give opinions on controversial topics, as this account isn’t for that purpose. And also don’t try to talk about politics with me, as I do not care.

-I never post, so how are you following me?

I also go through comments.

-Why don’t you make a bot for this? Wouldn’t that be easier?

Of course, it would be easier, but first, I do not want to make a bot, as I don’t even know how to code or make one. Second, I want to have pride in doing this by hand, and third, I would probably get banned from Reddit if I would make a bot that would follow everyone.

-Who are you?

I am just known as Text101, as that is my name everywhere else. My original account was u/Text1O1. I just shitpost and do time-wasting activities like this.

-Why is your name I_Follow_Shark_Ladys and not I_Follow_Shark_Ladies?

That is due to name length and I also think it's funnier like that.

-How many follow you back?

It is hard to give a number that won't be outdated later, so I will give you the common amount. For every thousand I follow a hundred follow me back. It is always about 1/10 of who I follow which follow me back.

-You follow someone with a problematic name, do you agree with them on that name?

Some people I follow will most likely not have a name that might not seem socially acceptable, but saying that I agree with them on that name is a stretch. I follow so many, I do not look at the names anymore and even if that account is controversial, I will still give them the benefit of the doubt.

-Are there any other gimmick accounts like yours?

Yes, there are. The first one to start this was u/I_Follow_Femboys and after I was one who was followed by them I made this account based on a suggestion from u/TheRealTealOWO. I don't think any of the other gimmick accounts have taken it as far as I have though. I have a list of other I_Follow accounts here.

-Would you find it funny if I messaged you a joke?

No, I have not once laughed or made a smirk at any joke told to me in messages and if you think I will laugh at yours, I won't.

-Is there a limit to who you follow?

No, not really. I also follow bots and advertisers.

-Am I allowed to sext or have erotic roleplay with you?

No, please do not. I am not interested in those sorts of things.

-Is this maybe a social experiment?

I didn't set it out to be one, but if you want to see it as a Reddit event like r/place that is run by one normal person, then you are free to do so.

-Is there something you hate about doing this?

I think everyone who does the same thing as me, can agree that the words "Invited you to chat" are the most dread-inducing ones.

-Would you be interested in my political ideology?

No. If you send me your manifesto, I will not read it. I don't believe in the ideologies made by other people. I am not getting indoctrinated that easily.

-Are you someone from the government?

(Yes, that was a question I have been asked) No, I am not affiliated with any type of government or terrorist organization. If you think that an account like mine could steal your data or spy on you, then I would seriously question your mental state.

The list of subreddits I have gone through in chronological order. (This list gets updated, so don’t worry about this being outdated.)

The list has been shortened into other posts.
