Do you think people that have VIP and can see their visitors,

do you think they feel a form of harassment from the people visiting their profile? Especially if it's consistent people, that view it every day or every other day. What do u think?

Sorry but I laugh at it. 😆 How is visiting a profile harassment? You voluntarily publish stuff online for other people to see, if you don't want them to see it, set your post as private.
I never had VIP, never knew who sees what and I don't even care.
There are people who leave their tabs open, if they somehow forgot to close a tab with a profile on it, there's going to be a view from them every time they open their browser.

I don't have VIP and couldn't care less who views my profile
SW-User
I never visit someone I know has VIP.
Not all, but some people get really paranoid about people visiting their profiles. Which to me is silly. We make posts for people to interact on and if someone likes our content they will visit. 😊

@SW-User yeah, I've see many users talk about it before, so it made me think that maybe it is an issue, but now everyone says that it's totally fine, so who knows, maybe just count it as a majority.

I don't have VIP and don't care if people view my profile. If people are bothered about this then they shouldn't be on social media, tbh.

Interesting. 🤔

I visit profiles all the time. Some more often than others, I sure hope none of them feel harassed.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@sarabee1995 I demand harassment.....from you. 🤣
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@KiwiBird Done! 🤣🤣🤣
I never did feel this way. This is a public forum of course people will visit my profile. I know a person who blocks people over this, what's the point. When I was vip I would check that for fun tbh I never thought of it in any other way.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether who visited u the most back then?
@Dan193 No idea. I don't remember tbh.

When it’s a long standing profile with plenty of views and gifts I think nothing about it . When it’s a very low view ( I get a lot of one view visitors) , few or no gifts it’s likely a troll ( alt) account trying to sneak past being blocked . I don’t like being stalked. Other VIP members can keep me from seeing if they viewed my profile but those people aren’t as likely to be perverts or trolls .
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@TexChik Oh I didnt know about the last part, I bet they employ that all the time. Also how to u go about the (alts) that visit your page?
TexChik · F
@Dan193 I block them
BeJeweled · F
I had vip last year and saw that I was being visited by the same people everyday. I think they visited to see if I had a new post up because they always replied on them.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@BeJeweled I see, how did u feel about it?
BeJeweled · F
@Dan193 It didnt bother me.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
thereasons we have profiles is so that people can read them... i am more likely to feel harassed by someone who is too lazy to visit my profile before messaging me.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Yulianna people message you?
Carissimi · 70-79, F
Some of these VIPs are narcissistic Prima Donnas. Anyone looks at their profile, and they are ready to call the “thought police.”
It's a sw profile not Instagram.

You can't mark it as private.

People view your profiles online VIP or Not, it's a given.
Eternity · 26-30, M
Maybe, but honestly i feel like one should shrug such feelings off.

Thats like people who get angry at people for looking at their butts or cleavage; you're a person that lives in the world. As such, people may look at you from time to time. If they like what they see they may even look often. Get over it 🤷🏽‍♂️.

If they are being overtly disrespectful then that is a whole other topic of conversation.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Eternity makes sense
fakable · T
you configure your own profile.

as far as I understand, only your posts and ten categories of interest are forcibly open for viewing.

you can programmatically collect all of your comments on other people's posts.

everything else can only be seen by people who have access to the users database.

I would if it was someone I didnt get along with. I visit my friends almost daily to see if they are ok as I dont always see their posts in my feed. I dont mind too much if my friends visit me daily
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User I feel with your line of work, you are probably hardened to feelings like that.
SW-User
@Dan193 i am but theres times it really hurts if ive had an bad night mentally or finically. Normally it doesnt bother me
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User I see, well were human at the end of the day, so makes sense.
Riverman2 · 56-60, M
Hmm. I never thought about it being a form of harrassment. I just realized recently that we can click a button to make their profile pic full size, so I have been going through doing that. It never dawned on me that it would bother anyone.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Riverman2 I didnt know about that feature either.
zorroo · 56-60, M
I do my best to avoid interacting with VIP members or even visiting their profiles.
zorroo · 56-60, M
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether most or majority of VIP members paid for it just to know who is visiting their profile.
also those who got it as a gift from one of their admirers and accept it, is same as a guy get a VIP membership from a bi guy!
@zorroo Umm ok.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@zorroo why do u see it as an issue? It ultimally supports the website, to keep it running.
SW-User
That’s why I got vip because people with VIP get paranoid when you visit their profile. Lol
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User yeah, because there's so much talk about that, so it made me think that too, like they could see it as stalking and feel harassed. So I had to ask what really people think.
SW-User
@Dan193 as long as a person isn’t visiting my profile constantly through the day I wouldn’t suspect anything
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User haha alright
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
it would be unnerving if they felt they were being stalked...but profile views is just one piece of data. In itself it doesn't mean anything.

The thought never crossed my mind, and it doesn't bother me at all.

MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
I never tend to stop to think "Do a select few people feel harassed by something trivial in this world?", but thank you for making me do that.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@MartinTheFirst no problem, it's all research 😂
SW-User
Yes they can see he visits their page
Probably feel that way at times
SW-User
Someone viewed mine almost 20 times in one day. So, yes, in a way
I don’t care. If it’s important to them fine.
SW-User
So... is it a form of harassment for us to look at profiles of others here?
I never gave it much thought. lol
I do know this much....some of the comments sound kind of prejudice about people with VIP.

This site just feels less and less social all the time.
Fluffybull · F
@SW-User Maybe they have nothing else going on in their lives? 🙄😥
SW-User
@Fluffybull I hope people don't take all that goes on here as reality.
I think maybe some of us need to get back out in the real world. I've been meeting people and doing things more again in daily life.
Fluffybull · F
@SW-User Yes, I have a "real life", too (have a business, husband etc. ) SW is just an extra source of amusement/conversation for me. It shouldn't be "everything" to anyone.
It depends. If its someone I engage in conversation with, then thats ok. If it's someone whos a blank profile then no.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@V00doo what do u do with the blank profiles?
SW-User
I have vip, I've never felt harassed by profile visitors ever
PirateMonkeyCabinet · 36-40, M
Some people with VIP get antsy even if you visit their profile only once and don't contact them to inform them why you were there. I've almost entirely stopped visiting profiles altogether just to avoid those that block you for deciding not to be social that day.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@PirateMonkeyCabinet reasonable decision
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I don’t think it’s a bad thing but when someone you have blocked makes a new profile just to view yours after you have blocked them is weird.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@iamonfire696 yeah, I get it, that can feel like invasion of privacy.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Dan193 yah when you get posts made about you it does.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@iamonfire696 oh yeah
