Hey north end beer bar. You’re cool, and I like your beer. I stop by fairly regularly to enjoy pints with friends, because your place is pretty chill. You know what isn’t cool tho? Your shitty tactics of follow-unfollow on Instagram. You’re like the new friend that’s trying too hard. Guess what? I already liked you! But your silly attempts at growing social media followers is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. —Domo Arigato

Hi Domo,
My name is Josh and I’m a Co-founder and Marketing Director at Good Robot, which I assume is the “north end beer bar” you’re addressing. I apologize that this has been happening to you. I agree that this is in bad taste. I have at least 10 staff who use our Instagram account and will be investigating this issue and instructing all of the staff that this is not acceptable. One of our policies regarding social media is to stay away from cheap tactics to garner new users, including following users simply to be followed back.
If the issue continues or if you wish to help us resolve this quickly, please email me (josh@goodrobotbrewing.ca) with some more information.
Cheers and thanks.
