Pornstars Twitter accounts blocking affiliates

[Smart Fred]

For an affiliate running pornstars free site and trying to promote both the adult sites and the pornstars, it's really frustrating to get his Twitter account blocked from the pornstars.

Many pornstars follow back, some nicely RT so I try to RT them too, but getting blocked looks like being a fucking pirat.

Here's the current Twitter account blocking me :

If someone knows them well and thinks it's weird they're blocking an affiliate account thanks to let me know. The "Free" in my domain name may have misled them.

This sounds very irritating & at worst, a bit stupid for the star. I've don't bother blocking & would have thought it pointless to do so. Maybe they're blocking all tweets from those non followers, hoping for more followers.

Have you followed them before, then they stopped you following them & blocked you after, or are you blocked before?

Maybe their account is on hold? Showing everyone as blocked, not just you

I don't see why the models aren't just the affiliates themselves

Pay them for their social traffic if its worth so much to you

What exactly does blocking mean?

Fred: consider this... models and pornstars get @mentioned thousands of times per day on Twitter, many of the mentions being affiliates looking for a free way to get a retweet directly to the model's fans. At some point it **has** to appear as spam to some of the models having their feed full of mentions from affiliates.

Unless you too are looking for a free retweet, honestly, what does it matter if they block you? They are likely just wanting to lessen their feed of affiliate clutter.

As was mentioned above, many will accept payments for a retweet and/or tweet arrangement.

Ultimately, models and pornstars have largely learned that they can make the sale themselves instead of "helping" an affiliate for free.
