Festivals sliding into dms

Hi all. Are there any filmmakers out there finding film festivals sliding into your dms on social media (especially on Instagram)?

They’re usually small international festivals; they like all of your past ten posts (especially when you’ve announced one of your films has been accepted into a festival); they comment ”see your inbox, we’re waiting for a response”. They offer a discount code if you ask for one, but never a waiver code.

I get the festivals that buy lists of films off FilmFreeway, that email you to invite you submit your film — the cash grab ones. But sliding into DMs and harassing you for an answer — is anyone else experiencing that? Or are there any festivals that have that as their marketing tactic?
