Hey there. I think you usta follow me; now you don’t. What are the reasons you typically unfollow someone?

I don’t unfollow often, but it could be any of several reasons.

  1. Sometimes it happens accidentally… more than once, a sleepy finger has tapped the wrong button.
  2. Usernames change and occasionally confuse the hell out of me… I’ve been known to bail if I can’t figure out who I’m reading.
  3. People evolve, whether I like it or not. The switchy, sub-leaning person I follow today can become the switchy, dom-leaning person I unfollow tomorrow. The naked attention-seeker I follow today may be disappointed with how she’s treated by the public and stop posting original content tomorrow. Stuff changes, is the point.
  4. I reblog the people I follow, and thus try to only follow people I want to reblog. So I will occasionally unfollow if I find myself continually scrolling past a bunch of stuff without spotting anything that inspires interaction.
