5 Reasons I Unfollow People on Twitter

Here are the top 5 reasons I unfollow someone's account on Twitter

1. You tweet about your local "love academy"

Unfollowed someone yesterday for this very reason. A love academy is a service where guys pay $1000 or more to have a "mentor" take them around and teach them to hit on girls. Why not just talk to them in the first place rather than having to pay a grand to be told the exact same thing? It would have been different if the tweet was that their "friend" went to one and said it was a ripoff but in this example someone was tweeting about some early registration deals. Unfollow.

2. Way too many NSFW pics not tagged NSFW (rickrolls too)

"Stuck at the airport, look at the size of this line (pic)" click "Wait this isn't an airport and why is that woman ... oh god I hope no else sees this. close. close. close."

3. You tweet about how everyone is stupid

From time to time I tweet about things that frustrate me but if your Twitter account is a daily update about how the barista at Starbucks is an idiot, the dry cleaners are morons, the assistant account manager doesn't know anything, the landscaping guy needs to learn English, the customer support rep is the dumbest person ever blah blah blah ... it gets to a point where you realize that all these people are perfectly fine, its the person you're following who has an attitude problem.

4. You retweet way to much

I don't need a middle man to tell me about tech or pop culture news. I can follow those accounts directly.

5. You start sending @ messages and DMs about deals and offers

If you think this is acceptable then you really don't understand social media.
