Return of the Spam!

It's been a while since I've had a rant around these parts so I'd thought I'd rectify that today with a little post on one of my favourite topics... Those pesky ol' spammers!
You may have caught this post on my pet spammers a little while back, but it would seem, (and I hope I'm not jinxing myself here) that I've gotten off pretty lightly lately, it's a shame the same can't be said for some of the 'bigger' bloggers out there. I'm almost convinced the spammer herds wait until that follower count clocks over to a sizeable amount before pouncing in the most cringetastically awkward manner. 
Follow for follow anyone?
I'm all for a bit of self-promotion kids, but there's a line and talk about stepping over it... I'd say leaping over it in your size ten boots is probably more accurate when you're plastering your Youtube link all over every Instagram picture with more than 100 likes. Call me old fashioned, but a bit of respect wouldn't go a miss these days, and if truth be told, you're getting noticed for all the wrong reasons. If you really need those extra clicks, I suggest posting your link attached to a cute, fluffy bunny picture, cause you know, everyone loves those. 
I actually feel for some of the blogging big fish out there, and whilst yes I'm not going to lie, I'd probably give my right foot to hang out at some of these uber cool parties, sipping fancy cocktails and taking pictures of the fabulous freebies I'd probably need to sell my grandma to get my hands on, I don't envy the crap that goes along with it. I mean, I can totally see how you being a new fashion blogger relates to an image of roast beef and yorkie puds, at least soften the blow by telling me how huge a fan you are first, jeesh!
