For example, actress and Internet prankster Jena Kingsley spoofs new Twitter follower notifications by walking up to a random New Yorker and saying, “Ma’am. Hi, I just want to let you know that I’m following you. Just like, \[to\] give you an alert. You don’t have to do anything. Just know it! And enjoy it! …Just like, do whatever, and I’ll just watch. Is that creepy?” **INTERACTIVE:** [How Much Time Have You Wasted on Facebook?](http://time.com/6107/time-wasted-on-facebook/ "undefined") _Read next:_ [_Investors Are Putting Millions Into ‘Tinder For Elitists’_](http://time.com/3680523/the-league-tinder-for-elitists/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3680657/social-networking-in-real-life/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3680657/social-networking-in-real-life/"},"headline":"This Video Sums Up How Our Behavior on Social Media Is Super Creepy","datePublished":"2015-01-23T19:33:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:12.717Z","description":"After watching it, you may become an anti-social networker","url":"https://time.com/3680657/social-networking-in-real-life/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dfce56f6a9bf6e1/69877b9d428a9eb3d9cc6c08/screen-shot-2015-01-23-at-1-17-37-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
