FOLLOWMORT
n.
/ˈfä-lō-môrt/
From follow + mortification (Lat. mortificatio)
The secondhand shame that washes over you upon discovering someone follows an account they absolutely should not — an ex, a conspiracy theorist, or a brand they publicly hate.
I checked his following list and felt pure followmort — he's been lurking his ex's CrossFit gym since 2019.
