Spam tagging. Just don't. I don't mind mates tagging me in things and banter etc. but tagging me and using my account, without my permission, to earn followers, is unacceptable.
Social media, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other network, is supposed to be there to be enjoyed, not avoided for fear of being spammed every five minutes!
I tend to keep my followers, likes and email subscriptions down to a minimum for this very reason, so that I'm not bombarded with notifications and important stories every time I log in.
I realise that this has the effect of making me look like a misinformed, boring fart with no interests. But how else are you supposed to manage and organise your social media accounts?
I've also been setting up multiple accounts since September 2015 to handle the volume of traffic if it's unavoidable. I now have 2 accounts on every site - a personal account just for me, and the account that I'm proud of and that is also a statement about who I am if employers are looking me up.
But multiple accounts leads to people demanding access (by way of friends and followers) to your personal account because otherwise, if they've only got access to your professional account, they're not communicating with the 'real' you. And for some, they want that access - because otherwise their trust in you means nothing.
