I'm discovering who those people are now and debating the worthiness of keeping them in my sphere of people because selfishness, self-promotion and ego are not I enjoy being associated with.
I wonder if those same people even will read this and a light bulb go off in their heads, so wrapped up in their own messages/images that they cannot see the trees due to the forest they are crowded in. I guess social media has made me skeptical in a few instances. Thankfully, there are so many endless possibilities that one can't help continue to be optimistic on one's quest for knowledge at their fingertips.
The perfect example that seems to be working is Donald Trump. It appears that this approach is considered not arrogant but earned, met with optimism rather than skepticism. Why would these people help others when they are so wrapped up in their own agenda of helping themselves?
Even if I don't unfollow because I may get a minimal like on my comment or share, I will continue to monitor this trend I've uncovered. You, yourself, may have wondered yourself. As a newborn social media enthusiast, not quite at the doorstep of deemed an influencer, you probably follow far more others than they follow you. Don't worry, I "get" that you perhaps consider their posts, tweets, and the LIKE on the many platforms worthy of sharing with your own tribe on your own journey of self-discovery which often results in influence. Almost by accident. Ironically.
I am debating to shelve these people and put them back in the fold like so many others like us. Taking the chance that their information will float into our sphere. Certainly, the intuitiveness of Google, Facebook are starting to float them before us more frequently as we demonstrate a keenness in that particular topic or information trend.
I will tell you a BIG known secret: these people are being told that they have merit. Absolutely by volumes of followers, amount of shares and even invitations to write or use their talents for brands still behind trying to cope with this fantastic forum of freedom of expression.

With social media still in its infancy, the cycle or the curve is still on the upswing. History has proven that the most successful are at the early stage of the upswing and others written about and studied to learn from as they plummet on the inevitable downswing. Staying relevant will determine the speed of which you decline. It may take you much longer to get to the top of the curve, but the odds are the longer it takes you to climb the mountain, the more likely it will be that you will float behind those nose diving downward.
I would say those unaware will get caught offguard like the forefathers of vision who end up on the cutting room floor of education, documentaries and so on. Books, accolades and history will bare witness to the ones who stayed hungry and humble without losing sight of their beginnings as a lingering taste to remind them.

You don't have to follow those people that boosts their positions, egos and fame. You will see them enough as they cloud the web waves of domination. Like Trump, they are always there as a continuous reminder that they are.
I've decided to remain humble and hungry. I want to climb strongly, steadily and float when the curve declines to be on the ready for the next force to be reckoned with. I thank you for allowing me to be your captain as you read my blog, to be your guide.
SIDEBAR: Do you ever happen to notice that whatever press con-ference or media opportunity Donald Trump is pounding his importance on, his wife doesn't walk beside him like she is his partner, but behind him. It may communicate that he considers few men or women are worthy to walk beside him. That is a fairly predictable personality pinpoint that foreshadows what his true character may be.
