New followers

So for about the last 3 months or so, I’ve had an influx of very young followers. We’re talking under 17, some as young as 12. It’s gotten to the point where, for every older normal age follower I get, I get one not of age. Not quite that ratio, but close. It’s so strange because I don’t know how they’re finding me, or how anything I’m writing could be interesting to them. That leads me to two questions.

1) Does/has this happened to anyone else?

2) If you are said younger follower, how did you find me?

  1. batgirl-and-robin answered: As an “older” person in tumblr terms (at 22) I have a real struggle finding people to follow who actually post things I want to read!
  2. my-own-melt answered: yesssss
  3. lifeandpictures answered: this has been happening to me so much and I don’t get it!!! They never “like” any of my posts or acknowledge that they follow me at all.

  5. ifnwhen answered: I didn’t realize this was happening to everyone. I thought I possessed some kind of Bieber-like charisma.
  6. brklyn answered: I don’t know how it keeps happening. Lots of 12 year olds. Very weird.
  7. mademoiselle-holly said: It is like Facebook all over again!
  8. mademoiselle-holly answered: Well, you told me to join tumblr… gah.
  9. bees-knees answered: same thing has been happening to me. i don’t care for it. i find it odd esp. since when i first started my tumblr everyone was in their 20s.
