Why I Removed You As A StumbleUpon-Friend
1) You “send” me stuff too frequently. That little red number indicating things friends have shared on SU feels compelling - and if you’re compelling me to pay attention too frequently, it feels abusive and/or needy. Go away.
2) You send me a) junk or b) untargeted non-junk or worst of all c) untargeted junk. Fortunately for you, I’m going to keep it simple so it’s easy to understand: I’ll remove you in all of the above situations. Clear, huh?
Friends don’t annoy friends.
