Top 3 reasons why you are not able to follow anyone on twitter
I keep getting asked by JustUnfollow users why they are unable to follow anyone on twitter. Here are the top 3 reasons why your twitter account is not able to follow any other twitter user.
1. You have hit the 2000 follow limit
I know, you can see others following more than 2000 users and you ask how? Well, twitter has this thing where they allow you to follow up to 2000 users without bothering you. Once you hit the 2000 follow limit they will then stop you from following more users until you get 2000 followers.
A solution to this is to either unfollow those who do not follow you or unfollow inactive twitter users. JustUnfollow let's you do just that.
2. You have more than 2000 followers but you're still not able to follow more
Oh, did I tell you, once you cross 2000 it will always be that you can follow only 10% of the number of followers you have. Say you have 5000 followers and you are following 4000 users, then you can only follow (10% of your 5000 followers) i.e. 500 more. (I'm not too sure about this so please correct me if I'm wrong)
3. When point 1 and 2 do not apply to you
This is the classic 1000 follows a day limit. Whatever be your follower or friend count, you cannot follow more than 1000 twitter users in a day. We face this problem a lot when trying to follow back those who follow us since @JustUnfollow gets way more than 1000 new twitter followers a day.
Well, these are pretty much the points that I can think of as to why twitter would not allow you to follow more users. If I've missed out on any points then please let me know so that I can update this post.
