Last night, I received an intense message from someone I recently decided to un-follow on Twitter, asking why I made that choice. Her persistence only confirmed my decision. So, for her—and for anyone wondering—here’s a rundown of the types of accounts I typically un-follow:
- The Twitter Addicts: You know the type—they’re tweeting non-stop, every minute or two. Their updates flood my feed, making it impossible to see anything else. Seriously, do they have jobs or lives? It’s overwhelming, and frankly, a bit much.
- The Auto-Reply Enthusiasts: If you send me a generic thank-you message for following you, I’ll probably un-follow you immediately. I’d much rather receive a personalized message or nothing at all.
- The Anonymous Followers: If your account is filled with thousands of follows but zero personal updates or followers, you get blocked. I’m not interested in a one-sided connection.
- The Self-Promoters: Sure, I share links to my blog occasionally, and that’s fine. But when someone only pushes their own agenda without engaging in any other way? Not for me.
- The Ghosts: If your account hasn’t seen an update in six months, I’m likely to un-follow you. What’s the point of following an inactive account?
- The Overly Social Celebrities: Celebrities exchanging public affection all day can be fascinating, but it quickly becomes annoying. I’d rather read about them in magazines than see it on Twitter.
- The “Follow for Follow” Crowd: It’s disheartening to be followed only to be dropped after I return the favor. That kind of childishness will get you un-followed fast.
- The Self-Proclaimed Experts: Just because you have a blog or social media presence doesn’t mean you’re an expert. Everyone thinks they know it all, but do we really need more self-proclaimed gurus?
- The Oversharers: Twitter can be a bit narcissistic, but sharing every little detail of your life—like a pimple or a bathroom trip—is too much for me.
- The Positivity Overload: I appreciate a good motivational message, but constant reminders to smile and embrace life can be grating.
- The Bible Verses Brigade: If you’re dedicated to sharing Bible verses all day, that’s great for you, but it’s not what I’m looking for in my feed.
- The Follower Count Chasers: Constantly begging for retweets to reach some follower milestone? That’s a surefire way to get un-followed. Focus on quality content instead.
- The Contest Fanatics: I get it, entering contests is fun, but if your feed is only filled with contest promotions, I’ll find it annoying rather than engaging.
If you exhibit even a couple of these traits, it’s likely you’ll find yourself un-followed. I might make an exception if you bring some value to the table (or if you happen to be really good-looking). But two or more of these behaviors? You’re history! And a special thanks to the woman who inspired this post—I was struggling for ideas today. Now I’ll share this on Twitter, and you won’t even see it because I blocked you!
