why do you never retoot things that ask you to? ——— I'm very bad at telling who is and isn't trying to be exploitative. If someone wants a toot boosted, there's a reason for it, and that reason might not always be what I think it is. I'm sorry if this feels a bit cold, and it's totally on me, but the simplest solution that preserves my sanity and lets me not second-guess all my friends is to never boost toots that ask to be boosted. Also, if I boosted every toot that asked for a boost, my timeline would be nothing but boosts!
