Why I No Longer Follow Back Every Single Person Who Follows Me on Twitter

It used to be my policy to follow everyone back who followed me on Twitter. I figured there was no reason not to. It didn’t hurt me at all and following people who follow you is just a nice gesture, right? Plus I wanted to have as many followers as possible.

Great article, Tristian. I completely agree with what you said here. I don't follow every person that follows me as well. Not that I'm trying to be "stuck up" but I don't want to see spammy or uninteresting things in my feed. I only want to follow genuine people that I'll receive value from and that I've actually interacted with. I'm in the process now of actually UN-following a lot of the people I"m currently following. Thanks for sharing this post with us on BizSugar. I appreciate you giving your insights on this topic.

I was thinking about this for a long time, do I really need to follow those people who follow me? You have just given me reasons.

Thanks for sharing.
