I remember Twitter from a time when it was polite and had etiquette. Please and thank you were commonly used. All of a sudden it has become demanding, privilege driven. Asking for a favour is like "twitter do your thing....." Or just tag 15-20 1/n

Many do share, RT or even come back with information. And surprise.... There is no acknowledgement to that. Or a stupid excuse - oh I am off social media, then why the f*#@ ask help on social media. 2/n

RT, share or revert is based on either celebrity status with lacs of followers or some who have managed to generate good will. When you ask for a favour, remember it erodes a part of the goodwill for that person. 3/n

Writers wanting to publicise books.
NGOs wanting funds etc.
People wanting to recruit, find gigs, apply, connect.
Media wanting information or publicise use the medium.
Small businesses grow from here.
Most are for selfish reasons. 4/n

Given that shouldn& #39;t etiquette be a part of all this.
Asking favours on SM should be treated as IRL only.
RANT OVER. 5/n
