Queen
i'm lonely
the timeline never dies
sports journalism
Same^
I.....can't......stop
Lots of cool people
i struggle with my 58
i do it 4 the giggles
You're the only follow I need!
i'm lazy and can't be bothered unfollowing people
if that isn't the dang truth. haha
There are tools like Tweepsmap that can tell you who hasn't tweeted in months, and provide other help in weeding out the list.
bye then
Not me
I only follow 103 :)
News Anna. News
Judicious use of the mute function.
they like to feel life speeding them by without actually moving
I used to follow 1000 people and then I unfollowed a ton
Look I just want everyone to be happy and I don't want anyone to feel left out okay
More like you just want a lot of followers 🐸☕
No I'm not like that hoe
Mmm sure Jan
No i won't
I don't have to explain myself to you
Multi fandom?
Constant entertainment
Not me 😂
I literally don't know how I do. I only see the same 50 people on my timeline anyways
how do they keep up..
omg hiiiiii
I'm complicated, what can I say?
We just want to be liked okay?
Fan accounts of people/ things I stan
So basically you&bechloe&the other Bellas tbh
I'm at 700 something. I'm good, right?
Also people who have over 1,000 favorites.
Twitter is my source of news...
in the search of the followback, maybe?
Stan twitter says hello
Follow me
I am a people pleaser what can I say... #follower
You gotta throw some love to the losers...
True
Guilty.
News junkie - I can't stop!
Sigh, I know. But I follow a lot of other entertainment reporters and outlets and friends and fun celebs and… it’s a lot.
They can’t. They’re robots.
celebs and people who ship the same things as me
I don't even like that many people
everyone’s so interesting!!!
Stalkers 😂
What about those who follow about 10k on instagram?
They probs won't see your tweet because they follow 1k people
Joe Rogan said it best. "I want to see a wall of humanity"
What, I can't like 999 people other than yourself?
Many interests, one account.
theres always the mute option
That is true
Tons of cool people in the world.
Te quiero 😭
You are correct sir
Hey dude, idk. I don't even understand life. #goodluck
I have a poor attention sp- SQUIRREL!
A lot of the people I follow rarely tweet other than during things like sporting events, when the firehose effect can be fun.
LITERALLY like over 300 is too messy
I have ADD.
I am just supporting as much accounts as I can okay. deal with it
I agree, pathetic. But I do it, unfortunately, to keep track of this crazy, unrelenting, furious 24-hour news cycle for my job
Yeah, when you work in journalism, you've got to keep an eye on everything.
"Checks Twitter Followers............whew."
oloco
People with over 6 million followers explain yourselves!
actually they are all bots :)
maybe they desperately need to see 300 people say the same thing when news breaks
can I be your 290th person you follow ? ily
I guess a lot of us likes a lot of people who are pretty awesome like you!
I'm nosey and like to know what's going on lol xx
is directing a #BatgirlMovie in case you're wondering.
I love you btw!!
I must have low self-esteem?
How do people even keep up with their feed?!
Sort of a mistake really. In the early days, I though it was proper etiquette to follow back
lol😂
Ditto - and now I don't want to be rude and unfollow
I only follow 988 so can't help you out sorry 🍻
Can't do that shit. I like my timeline tidy.
Hi my name is Kittey and I think I have a problem... lol
They are hungry for attetion? Im guessing of cousre
more memes i guess😂😂
I follow less than 30 people. You are the only one worth following dear lol
I love you!!!
ADD means I need constant simulation?
Follow back
I break it down into lists of experts/good accounts and then I can read up/keep up with stuff.
I feel bad not following people back
Tweetdeck makes it easy.
Sorry, there's too many hilarious people here. Please don't judge me.
Thanks x
ALSO I'm too lazy to unfollow people
All the follows!!!!
What can I say, I like a lot of things and with Twitters Algorithms these days you're lucky to see half of them.
Ooof. Just checked. 1,041. Is there a support group?
Easy!
how many people do you have muted?
So. Much. Content.
Well there are more than 1k celebs so there....
I like a lot of people, okay?
im fine with my 700
I'm fickle and struggle with being decisive.
I would like to, but I only follow 103....
This is why I don't have many friends (?)
I like people to feel important!
I follow back
@ me next time
Taking a bite out of each and every different cake. I follow celebs, such as you, to streamers, gamers, companies. Keeping in the loop!
at least half is news.
only about 1/3rd of them say anything on a regular basis.
Maybe you're just not following enough people
Fan accounts keep me posted on what's going on with you and others that I think deserve my devotion.
Plenty of timeline scrolling material
I like a lot of celebrities and I'm horribly indecisive
i get anxious when there's no new tweets to read at any given moment.
lol here here, well my excuse is some are from Asia, others from America and Europe. Different time zones so basically I dont get all dizzy
I guess they just have a lot of spare time! 😊
I don't have the time to respond
I DONT LIKE MISSING OUT
timeline isn't boring... What's your excuse for not following 1000? 😂
I think I only follow about 400 or less...
too lazy to unfollow.
i love people
DRAG THEM KENDRICK
Who has the attention span for that?
NewsRoom
*quickly looks at following numbers* woo hoo, no explaining!
I am inclusive. I didn't know I had to be conservative with my love.
107 is ok?
You can't handle the truth 😂
sports
Yeah, on my first Twitter account I ended up following the max number which I believe is like 9k and then kept unfollowing people
Though it was I think originally b4 twitter truly kicked off
i like seeing new things as i refresh my timeline constantly because i'm always on twitter due to my boring life 🙂
I follow 1.8k it's fun
Journalists - can't miss that story popping up. Also, variety of perspective. Those users add up fast.
Many celebrities.a lot to keep up with. Timeline never dies.
I don't but.. would you follow me?
I don't answer to you!
This is so me
I find differing view points interesting, have made some friends on Twitter and of course, like to see what my favorite celebs are up to.
sorry!!! 😁😁😁
I have a short attention span and diverse interests?
That's what I've been thinking!
Why'd they do this? There's no point! 😂
To make them happy. But I mute most of them.
We all can't be amazing talented actresses for followers haha
Also notice me so I can stop crying xo
are my bellas tweets the reason behind the tears🕺🏼
True though
I don't understand it, either.
I'm a hoarder. :/
Compensation
I'm only at 525, don't gotta explain shit.
ask @BartBaker, he's a twitter whore
I was. I just cleaned my account a few days ago. It is still over 900😂. I follow people in same fandom. 😝Like Bechloe
being polite if they follow you
we're not famous like you Anna, we need friends
Anna, I suspect at least 2/3rds of them are spam bots.
cause we don't have a life
There's is no reason to follow over 1,000 people on twitter. I only follow the best people.
No time must keep scrolling.
maybe they wanna increase their followers, but I wouldn't know because I only have about 30 followers 😂
Thaaat and a hopeful follow back to make things more interesting. 😜
While I don't have nearly that many. I put the ones I do have on lists. That way the tweets are organized.
I like the "internet fire hose'. I use lists and Tweetdeck to pull into separate conversations. And many of my 2k+ aren't active.
Thank you for this BECAUSE I DONT KNOW EITHER
this popped up on my phone and stopped after "Hey" and my only thought was "why is she talking to me..."
The mute button is key.
I'm only following half that. That's pretty healthy.
Not on twitter but I'm like that on other social media. I just like a lot of things and people O_o
maybe they're very fast readers
there are that many incredible people making art and I want to see all of it
I like to keep in touch with people I don't know
I LIKE PAIN OKAY!!
keeps my feed from getting repetitive. sometimes i have to turn peoples RTs off though.
Most of us just LOVE having a ton of stuff to keep up with on Twitter.
I'm also completely not looking at my follower count
I don't know how to use Twitter.
I just know that many people
Just trying to get free taco bell.
...I got nothing
I'm following 40 people and ai barely understand why
I use it as my news I follow every outlet and hundreds of journalist and politicians
which means I'm mostly angry all the time
I follow 300, most are related to gaming, others rarely post... Hope this helps
I live vicariously through others & the faint hope that some will follow back or interact w/ me.
this was me. then i got help 😂😂😂
I assumed you ran over 1000 accounts such as @VancityReynolds and @jtimberlake
Well, now people are just going to send you articles on how to increase your followers, Anna. WTG.
Lots of people I should follow for news! (At least, that’s my excuse)
News about what?
I have a sports problem and food problem
I only follow 386...and you are one...Feel special yet?
Right!?
They're the people who walk into signs and fountains.
Says the chick with 6.2 million followers... You're part of the problem!
I only follow 936 so I'm safe!
hey kendrick, do you want a picture of my dog reading scrappy little nobody?
Hello friend how are you?
They're typically bots, and not actually real people
I like people
I really like to hear from lots of different subjects!
I can feel the judgement dude but I'm currently at the ATL zoo about to feed a girafe so I couldn't care less about my number of following 😂
Drag her kendrick lol
I tend to follow people pertaining to things I'm into at a particular time then don't unfollow when interest wanes a bit
Sometimes you just gotta hear 17 different versions of the same joke about the news story that broke 4 minutes ago.
FAKE NEWS!
Well, I'm not following over 1000 but LISTS... that keeps things manageable
Voyeuristic stalkers with too much time on their hands
Half of them are people from different Fandoms and the other half are celebrities
#Sports fan bases. Also follow everyone who follows me. 😊
I don't follow any where near that many, and I still mute a number of people who tweet too often.
I'm just really nosy okay?
Wait. It's not a race to a million?
I just really like voting in polls.
I follow over 3,000 so... 😂
I mean....I'm half there😂
I'm impulsive and now my timeline is a jumble of completely unrelated issues/thoughts. I feel crazy and am considering starting over. Lol
Tell me about it
People are super interesting! Also some of them are funny bots. Also I read fast.
I recommend Crap Local News. Pretty funny stuff!
I do what I want
is she talking to you man? Lol
right ?!? It's a full-time job
lots of love! Enjoy your morning!
Skimmimg!
follow me lol 😂
There's just too many celebs, news portals and everything.. way too hard to choose. And why choose if you can follow them all? 🙂
Anna. Kendrick. Sometimes a guy just has to read over a 1000 reactions to trailers or a 1000+ similar complaints about the president.
Likely has to do with reciprocity. Follow for follow.
almost
Oooo. Pick me pick me. Cause they want to boost numbers with follow for follow. It's about validation or they are really very popular
Most of us are not famous :d so if we want some fllwrs we need to follow them back
Just sayin tho:d
what can I say. My Twitter game is shit. 🤷🏽♂️
Sorry for being nice,small devil
I want to know what everyone is up to! But... can't... keep... up... [collapses]
... checks number of following... I'm good phew 😰
Well how the hell else are you gonna get as much gay ship content? Canon or not.
Uh I just kind of happened😬😬
I don't, but need that content.
Common courtesy? Broad-scale interests? Russian hacking?
I'm sad and lonely and need friends.
Twitter wont show me all of my early follows and so i can't delete the ones i don't want anymore 😔
Too lazy to sort out and bring the number down tbf
Some people are only interesting part of the time.
I have access to more information than some following 999 people
Perhaps some people actually know 1,000 people.
some people are funny... like you!🙄
uhh...it just happened. And I'm pretty sure I only see like 500 people's tweets ever, so that's all that matters.
I use it as news aggregator. I make different lists for different interests.
I'm just tryna keep my timeline interesting
... 🤷🏼
I only follow u dear ☺️
I like people...
Its ugly haha im trying to unfollow
what if you're the 1001 on my list?
OMG I don't even understand my need to follow but I just know that it's a condition that im getting help for ....sort of
You are not the boss of me.
I used to. Depend on Twitters recommendations on "You might like"
I want to interact with this tweet but I only have 898 followers n I'm not looking to get more followers to get me 1000 followers. Followers
some of them are relatives you’re required to follow and then promptly mute.
I'm constantly working on purging hahaha
Idk, too many people are on mute.
You're right, Anna. I have a problem. Quick on the trigger, have follow remorse, then fear it'll make it awkward if they notice me leave! :(
Same here. As soon as I see they follow me. I sit there and go, it would be rude not to follow them back... Right?!
oh THAT i'm much better about. I definitely do not follow back everyone who follows me. ((whisper)) some of them are nerrrrrds.
True I can usually tell if the profile pic is a pair of boobs says biddaddy69 I usually know they don't need my follow.
Seriously though... some be people are 20,000 following 18,000 followers... what is the point?!?! What is your feed like?!
pretty much for work.
Common kendrick😂💖
Only following 19 people I find interesting and you are one of them. More movies please.
we like diversity of opinions 😂
I like to see a lot of people tweeting their misfortunes for it makes me feel less lonely and kinda embraced by their failure
Me just 134.... one being you as I'm listening to your book to and from work this week. Very funny! #scrappylittlenobody
Push notifications help
It just kinda happens, you know? Because some of us needs to check if you're still alive on a daily basis.
Wow this is the best answer I ever rode
I enjoy having a never ending feed of content to read
Why don't you follow one more person and make it me xo
Seriously. I got room for about 80. And you better be as sexy as Ana or as bad ass as @GamebredFighter or @JotkoMMA 💚😂
I... can't
Keeps my @nuzzel feed interesting. I mostly only follow verified accounts - journalists, politicians, activists (a few celebs) etc
SOME people are courteous and follow back
I can't
I'll Bite. I'm a current events/photo/art junkie. so in the words of Johnny 5, MOAR INPUT! 🤣🤣🤣
It is difficult to keep up
I was young and stupid and now I'm full of regret.
Addiction to information
I have nothing to explain with😩🤐
i used to on my first twitter account and when i remade, i made sure i wasn't following that many people lol
I'm here entertainment 🤷🏽♀️
Well when you start a twitter account when you're 10 you're easily fooled by the fake spam accounts
We have no life
it's all for the feed
that timeline would be mental.
Totally weird, right? Peeps with too much time on their hands.
DASSSSS ME
I don't even know 1000 people
We just love people like you 🙆
After 10 years, I found a lot of interesting people. However, only about 1/2 (or less) are actually active. I use Tweetdeck to group ppl.
Infovore. Sufficient explanation?
right?! There's no way I give a shit about that many people. Lol 🤷🏻♀️
They can't hear you, there are too many voices!
Very wide array of interests. Are you saying such people should cut back?
I don't unfollow dormant accts. and if an old friend pops back up, cool. I mute more than u/f and don't feel need to read whole feed.
I like people? 😆
The other 2083 don't tweet.
Can't really explain it. Gotta delete a bunch.
I cannot explain why, I just do.
Most of mine are all sports teams. That should explain enough
I'm sorry 😬
Variety of information and entertainment.
i have no idea what happened
I really like poetry accounts. 🤷🏻♀️
Kiss me
I feel like my 288 is too much!
The amount of people I followed is the reflection to all the disappointments and regrets I have in my life.
I like a lot of artists🌚
I do it because I am a polite Cheverus guy, not a snooty Deering punk like SOMEONE I know.
I'm at a nice round 128 :)
Oopsies?
hey ho ha! : )
More people=more opinions. I try to follow people I disagree with as well. Great way to learn about their perception.
at one point if one made a good sex joke on twitter it was reason enough for me to follow.
It kind of just happened
I love you
Sports, TV/Film, News, writers, athletes, bloggers, friends, weirdos, goof balls, giants, wizards, ppl from all around the world 🌎
Because it's America and I can got dammit
The more the merrier
It's hard to get followers if you don't follow lots of people the more you follow the more of a reach you get to people
They can't explain, not when they are so busy catching up on what everyone is up to.
I follow back some people who follow me. Also there are a lot of interesting people to listen to... like you. 😘
Well I'm very excitable and like clicking buttons, we cool??
I dont even follow 100 and I cant keep up as is! lol
hi cant wait to see u again tomorrow
Well I only follow 777.......Fuck wait what was the question.
been there. It got real confusing.
It feels better to follow less than 1000 people here on twitter I guess🤷🏻♀️
If you use Tweetdeck or something to sort them, it's not hard at all. :)
I'm not as good looking as you
gorgeous woman
Sports and sports fans. Politics, different perspectives. But why aren't you following me?
Aaannddd followed
news,cars,ambulance,there are many themes
So true!! I follow 63 and sometimes that's a commitment.
i follow a LOT of illustrative artists from all over the world
I guess
I dont know why i do it either
7 billion people on the planet... about 1300 of them are cool.
It's like being at a big party and wandering from conversation to conversation. I don't see everything that's going on, but I'm never bored.
literally same i can barely follow over 100 people
It's like watching the internet
I follow more than 500 because of tv shows and fandoms. (Pitch Perfect brought me here, I think).
I like people? Idk dude XD
You're kinda cool and funny 😀
I have no self control, I thrive on timemline chaos: politics, golf, nerd-shit, randos I followed while drunk, tech news? It's like a drug!
Work work work work work work
Maybe it's just the real life chloe beales of the world who've got a lot of love to give
I use it for my job to find/keep up with news and ~the conversation~! Also I'm a glutton
^^^^this
^^ Also what they said.
Phew I'm only at 930ish, gives me time to come up with an excuse.
Also, hey, you're a delight and I appreciate the chance to explain myself.
Lmaoooooooooooooooo Kel
The @Twitter experience for someone like you with so many followers is more of a publishing platform, but for us peons it's for consumption.
none of them would've noticed that tweet.
Lists.
Impulse
I was young and stupid...and I'm too lazy to unfollow all the shitty accounts.
i only follow people i would smash
tweetdeck
Uh...because there are a metric shitton of people who need mocking on here?
And i just like people
It's fun to #followback. Snobbery is overrated!
So sad Lists are buried in app. Should have ability to curate dif groups in seprt tab. Easier to create two accts and combine in Fenix
But that would make sense!
Embrace the randomness! It introduces new perspectives to your life. I follow people who just don't exist in my day-to-day life. it's great.
Well said!!!
Congrats on your 250❤️ tweet! favstar.fm/t/847871880597…
It's fun to #followback. Snobbery is overrated!
That. Twitter is ideally 4 convo not broadcast. And history - like when DMs were for ppl who followed each other.
It's pathetic to gain followers on the promise you'll follow them back
not snobbery ! when you lower your follow count you really get relevant conten, otherwise it's just clutter ! try it, unless you like spam
6...I follow 6...I'm feeling a bit subpar in my Following skills 😐 #amithereyet
...what about if our numbers barely breaks double digit. Are we just not worth the time? I'm hurt. I shall go sob to my fur baby.
Some followers are just like, "OMG, you know Anna Kendrick?! Me too! Have you watched Pitch Perfect??" Kinda followers
I want to meet her but I can't
Attention Deficit Disorder. 😃
celebrities, news, friends, columnists, more news, companies/brands for contests
they're dumbasses
I like the chaos of a Twitter with a boatload of followers. :)
Holy shit you're a madman
I've never denied it.
I can only just survive 60😂😂
You should round your own follows up. 289 is such an unlucky number. I'm here for you 👍
It's an unfortunate result of alcohol and medical marijuana. #drunkfollow
Yeah please 😂
I cannot stop!
I love how your tweets always are a subject of conversation in the comments. You are kind of like a teacher on twitter.
I don't but um I could start?
I think I desperately need some friends...
So a 1000 people on Twitter is 0.0003134% of Twitter you don't think there is that many interesting peoole?.jk that shits weird people suck
Deviants, the lot of them.
thank god I don't have to 😅
It's just me and my closest 1,000 friends. Intimate.
I like a lot of info and opinions!!! It's my news source.
Explain yourself
that's why I'm following you on Twitter and only a couple others??I like your interrogations
-I REALLY ONLY FOLLOW U,BUT U DON'T ANSWER BACK. Id like to meet u,,You have a great life
I am curious about a variety of issues.
I read fast.
THIS IS YOUR FAULT! ANNA, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
Yeah how do you keep up with anything?
I read. A lot. Also I drink beer. #acceptme4whoIam
You only follow 289, make me 290? 💁
No! not Chelsie....Mark @murphypride should be #290 😇
Must have up-to-date news due to 24/7 insanity. Caution: I only recommend this poor life decision if you're trying to have a stroke.
internet friends all over the world duhhhh
I read really fast so I need a lot on my timeline
I like to constantly have tweets to look at ok
I like a lot of people and things.
Good shit. Can you follow me back?
I only follow 264 people including you so... Does it make you feel special ?? Lol 😘
It's funnier that way
I don't know what happened. It snowballed.
i like to be a part of everyone's drama
it's like following no one at all
Check out twitter lists
- They followed me and I thought I'd be nice💋
- Fan accounts/people I wanna follow
- I want friends 👏✨
Hey you don't follow me, explain yourself
Folks who follow more than 1000 people on twitter can't be trusted
Most of them are related to my personal and professional interests. No, really!
It's fucking impossible to follow that many, I don't know how people do it
Because they didnt found Anna Kendrick, yet.
I have multiple interests and 6 lists that are broken up into columns on Tweetdeck so it's like 6 feeds but organized. Do you approve?
because some famous people follow back their fans 🤷🏻♀️
Multi-faceted interests... science, space, weather, politics, sports teams, fans of sports teams, stupid stuff, smart stuff, and hot celebs.
I have achieved, contacts on Twitter through job opportunities, friendships & family. Have a nice day & excellent weekend
- I only follow 24-you were my first! I need your humor to cope with the clusterf##k that is now our government! Thank you! 😜
You're gorgeous
It was follow the pages of people I'll never actually meet in real life or talk to human people.
I stand by my decision.
We don't mind following you; if thats all right.
There are a lot of sports teams/players out there.When something happens I get it from 273 different sources saying the same thing!
Way too much free time to read them all.
Im dead inside, Anna
With me it just meant I had to change my password.
It's mostly accounts of cute animal pictures
My original plan was to follow a load of people but only keep following the best. As it's turned out, I've never unfollowed anyone. 🤠
Its to have specific views on a certain topic, you manage them by creating lists.
I'm so sorry. I have no explanation. It just happened and now I'm too lazy to go through and unfollow people.
I struggle to follow myself let alone 1000 people.
I follow ~300 and it's too much. Lists save lives.
I thought about following you, but I would just be #6,200,001 and it would push me closer to 1,000. I feared explaining myself.
Those people need to have something to talk about. They like to know everything about other people's life. 😜
Indeed!!!
yeah I'm always confused when a person follows that many people.
My son would except people he does not know all because it looked good. I showed them how many I had and they would laugh.#crazy
I ain'ts gotta explain nuthin to you!!! 😋
I ONLY have 642, but I am TRYING! lol
Hey.
Anna, you follow 289 people on Twitter.
Explain yourself.
Sometimes my life is sad so I live vicariously through others. Plus some people are hella funny.
I was sent here to collect data on this planet to send back to the invasion fleet.
ok seriously tho it stresses me out and i only follow like 550+. i feel the overwhelming need to declutter my following list every week.
I follow 2k+ on ig (yourself included) and i cant keep up with it all😭
I don't even know 1,000 people.
564. And hi :D
over dinner, i can
i hate my own life so i immerse myself in everyone elses
I need content!
OMG AGREED
I need a constant steady flow of content AT ALL TIMES
I just follow you. And that doesn't sound creepy at all. 😑
Mostly just too lazy to unfollow people who aren't posting anymore. I follow anyone who says interesting stuff. Most hardly post.
I follow a couple of hundred for each of my personalities. I feel sorry for those that DM me at the wrong time.
Polite follow backs, I never look at my feed and just use lists to see what people I actually want to hear from are saying.
I don't have the energy to follow over 1,000 people on twitter
*bleep bloop* I am totally a HUMAN BEING and not a bot *bloop beep*
How many of the people who liked or RT'd this follow >1,000?
Because there are some funny and interesting, random people on twitter ie: Anna Kendrick 😆 I love when you show up in my feed 🤘
They're selling something.
::nervously checks amount I follow::
::sees 965::
::does heel click jump::
I follow a lot of people who cover/work my beat (criminal justice, civil liberties) for my job.
I love lamp
I stalk celebrities!
I just like to stalk people from the comfort of my living room.
The first 1000 were fake Anna Kendrick accounts. Soooooooo..........
Journalists and news orgs add up. #trumpistan
Fast readers, And an incredibly short attention span.
not everyone can be incredibly talented, smart and witty with 6 million followers...some of us have to use quid pro quo.
Sports, Politics, follow-backs. It adds up quick. Gets rough on these Twitter streets for an info junkie.
having half of that number I get a lot of crap. Dread to think what a timeline consisting of 1000 followers looks like 😨
There are just so many breweries!!! #CraftBeer
Not me 🙅♂️
We like the torture of scrolling endlessly.
Mutuals. Can't break the mutual or you lose a follow.
There's lots of interesting people around there okay? DONT JUDGE US😭😭
Sometimes, Anna.... Oh, nevermind, you have a point. People who follow over 1,000 on Twitter, explain yourselves!
My timeline will never be boring. I get to see all views and opinions and puppies.
diversity of thought and opinions on a variety of topics.
There are actually more than 1000 people on twitter from just the SPvsTW cast alone.😃
Plus I read fast.📑
And stop judging me!👩⚖️
Love ya!❤️
One follow for every one of my personalities
Sports info
I can't think of one dude lol 😭😭😭
Anna, you explain yourself
I'm not famous
I hit the main feed for a "flavor" of my interests. Maintain Twitter lists to keep track of my "must reads."
Reading is fundamental.
It just kind of happened over the course of having twitter for like 4 years, and I'm too lazy to fix it
Its like having 400 channels and nothing to watch.....
They are all Anna Kendrick fan accounts
i like my timeline always popping and its a big world with a lot of folks. 1200 aint but a drop in the bucket.
I only follow 532, I'll explain later
Everybody is special!
It would be tough finding those accounts
so many interesting things and people
I only follow 809, but after 9 years, I’d bet a huge number are people that stopped using it and I didn’t notice.
variety of information & discussion, have lots of interests & find lots of people interesting. I do try to cull some.
I just. I'm.... I don't know, man.
Because It's like my full time job to know if you're still alive or what. Duh 🙄
why ?because ......
Attached
you were my first 🙃💩
Those people have magic superpowers.
I follow 997. Do I still need to explain? If so, they're cool people.
My wife left me @AnnaKendrick47
My limit is 999. If I hit four digits, my computer explodes. It’s like the movie Speed, only on Twitter.
That's not how the bomb worked.
I know, it was the opposite way, but same premise — hit a predefined limit, bomb goes off.
Im sorry you had to explain a joke
Jack, nothing tricky now. You know I'm on top of you! DO NOT attempt to grow a brain!
I love you!!!!
They follow me so I follow them back
Obviously not as cool as you. 🤓
I just unfollowed 367 people because of this tweet
I think about this same thing too often
...I want friends. 😞 😞 😞 That's not how you make friends?
no explanation that isn't an excuse. Working on cutting down.
I follow 124 and I find that hard enough 🙈🙈 I can't imagine following over 1000!! Don't these people come up for air??
I'm pushing 6
I'm lonely.
I'm getting worryingly close!
Erm. 😔
Mine is mostly bands and football related stuff. I also have 3 Twitter accounts 😒
Ha, suckers. I only follow 980.
I follow less than 300, and a third of those are sentimental follows that I'd feel bad for taking away.
I'm just happy to not have to explain myself to a celebrity who has no idea who I am. :-p
Joined Twitter. Went crazy with the follows. Way too much work to go back and thin the list.
Two words: Twitter lists.
I cover more than 120 teams for AP and the NHL, and I track them with Twitter lists. Plus there are a lot of fascinating people on here.
And now I'm going to follow you, because you've started an interesting conversation.
On Twitter or home from work?
Its not about people like who have a reason to follow others but its about those who follow to get more followers/get verified
Follow me. I'm boring but still follow me
what are these Twitter lists you speak of?
#nottechsavvy
Anna... You follow 289 :( explain plz
Shit...I can't find anymore than 17 to follow and most of them suck!
I get what you mean, me personally Im not keen on having this many followers 😊😀😂
I follow back because it is polite. I must say it makes my TL unmanageable even on good days.
Yeah, they better explain how they manage to not break their thumb by scrolling down their timeline.
don't have friends in 'real life' 😢
I like humans. There are lots of humans
Me and my tiny 180 follows nod in sympathy
I think roughly half of my follows are as a result of accidentally hitting the follow button because of where it is in the mobile app
hey a little respect here, I only follow 969
I only have twitter to follow Anna kendrick and some other news
it's easy you hit the follow button. they say stupid shit...you unfollow
0100101001110000101101010YoureFunny010010100101YoureGorgeous010100100101010101010
-The Bot With Feelings
I'm at 752, glad I don't have to explain myself.
*hits follow*
"No."
Pro stalker... I just need to get their Twitter names now...
but you're one of them!!
I meant she's one of the 1000+ people I follow haha
oh bwahaha that makes a bit more sense
Girl you can't throw shade when you have 2k followers answer the question!
But she is famous
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
They won't be able to respond to your tweet because they won't see it in their timeline...
I like variety!
I am at 980 is that excessive.
I've been here so long that I assume most of the early follows don't tweet. Mine is keeping track of artists and writers
Why not? It makes my timeline more interesting:)
the sad part is, we expect some one to follow back
I constantly need new content to distract me from my life.
one for every mood swing
I'm nosey and like to know what everyone is doing.
It just happens... Which I don't know how?
(No comment)
Trump only follows 43 (and 40% of em have "Trump" in their handle). Who needs to explain to who here?
Right!!! 🙄🙄🙄
For the most part...work (also I haven't done a parsing of people I'm folloiwng in a while)
I follow back, and mute the people I don’t care to see. That way I only see what I want :)
Hey Anna. Just hey. :-)
(Possibly sensitive)
I'm interested in seeing different voices. I use separate cols in tweetdeck to follow smaller group whose tweets I don't want to miss
Too many interests 🙈
So many good art accounts must be followed. Anyone i talk to is just on push notifs so i can see their stuff better
I put them in lists based on topic. I have a lot of interests
It's none of ur fukin business, next
I follow back
Prove it
He follows me
Fake news
that's my ceiling. when i get close, it's trimming time.
It's not the people who follow 1000, it's the people who follow just one. #TwitterStocking Is that a thing?
No. I don't follow that many, but I wouldn't explain myself if I did.
They just hope to be followed back.
it's when tv + movies take over your life. also, when you meet so many people in real life that become your best friends and coven. 💗
and also some peoples accounts are cool af and they just deserve a follow. 💁🏼 (i'm almost at 1000) 😅
THE OPINIONS OF MANY PEOPLE ARE VALID AND RELEVANT TO ME
If I followed over 1,000 people? It would be because I followed so many celebs
she said it first 🤔😏
My twitter is never boring so🤷🏼♂️
Hmm hmm
Nah. Can't do it milady.
See what had happened was...
Probably more comfortable following than leading.
You're one of 93.
I know a lot of interesting people online? ;-)
I am a Recruiter #EnoughSaid
Simple: they follow people back that follow them
Try to keep up with Favorite Actors/Actresses/Activists/Athletess and there's a lot of you guys... 😅💖
proud follower of 13 people. I'm very picky! Which may be why i only have 2 followers myself. Lol!
There's LOTS of wise old hippies to follow #resist
I have a large family?
Yeah, I don't get that. Don't get it at all.
work is boring and a diversified Twitter feed helps. Granted I only follow about 500 atm but I see the appeal
I didn't mean to...I just follow interesting folks, and well, now it's a tsunami of Twitter.
It's how you win prizes man.... I'm hoping for one of those pens that write in 4 colors. Any day now.
Doug, I just realized you follow 419 people
you're only one away!!!!
I don't know why I'm following half of these people. It's just a big hologram anyway, right?
I just noticed you're following 419 people Doug. Can I be lucky number 420?
Saw an article yesterday that said someone followed "only" 1,000 some-odd. I was like, what?
I'm an incredibly sad and lonely person who lives vicariously through others.
Also, funny pictures.
Oh just kidding I'm not even following 500 people 😅😂🖒💖💖💖
When you find out that answer share it. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the approx 200 I follow. #TwitterExcess
@ me next time
10% people who I am interested, 90% porn
variety is the spice of life
Ummmm hmmm well... I got no answer
I like to feel popular 🙁
Guess they're twitter completists? 🤔
I only follow pages about Anna kendrick, or by Anna kendrick, or for Anna kendrick... I should go now....
Sheeple. Not people.
I'm still trying to figure out why I have 1600 followers
If they follow me,I follow back. I also like to hear news 1st,so the more verified & reputable accounts you follow,the greater your chances.
I want to hear what more than 1,000 people have to say?
Maybe they love standing in rooms if people shouting
I want to think that I am a popular chic but in reality I am not.
No explanation needed
I'm a huge nerd following comic books, pop culture, art, and food.
I'm nowhere near that and I feel like Twitter consumes my life
To stalk, mainly. To learn of the world through various newspapers/magazines who have Twitter handles. To stalk.
Journalists, Politicians, Wrestlers, Standups, Cast of General Hospital, lots of interests means lots of follows.
It's the best way to add/remove large swaths of people to find the uniquely weird people like myself.
I just really have no fucking life. That's about it.
Follow me
Takes a 1000 regular follows to equal one Anna Kendrick.
It's a great news filtration service...
Most of them are my students so they can communicate with me or hockey people, or cool peeps
'cause you can learn so much from other people ?
Varied interests & I need a full timeline to entertain and keep me informed.
they aren't famous and want more followers so they follow a shit ton of people for more visibility. That's my guess
It's about networking and needing some social media self promotion when it comes to entertainment reporting. I know, I hate myself too.
I do shift work as a operator, a lot time to view social media
input input
How are they going to see this question as it scrolls off their screen in .023 seconds?
I like variety
Because they're there.
I really enjoy breasts.
I follow you
I couldn't even think of 1000 people to follow if I tried
it's fun following lots of people!! ❤
I don't wanna
I've seen some shit and some people were curious. I don't get it either.
Did it in hopes that one day, @AnnaKendrick47 would want to know why, and finally, I'll have my in. So, hey Anna, come here often?
I like hearing your thoughts alongside 1,393 other people's.
Reporters and scientists mostly. I see political and science news before the story gets written up.
Can't. Too busy reading.
Tbh a lot of them don't tweet that much anymore. Plus, what's life without a little anarchy?
(No comment)
😂😂😂😂😂 Quand je vois mon nombre d'abonnement, je me dis "je fais le ménage de ça" et la seconde d'après je me dis "fuck off" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am really bored :(
*hurriedly unfollows people*
Yeah, those people. What's the deal?
1d following parties...
Help me
if you feel guilty if you don't follow back someone, than follow them and than mute them. Hard to keep up even a 100.
I've got a friend who follows over 2000... I don't talk to her anymore.
reciprocity seems to be the most acceptable answer. The rest is just gluttony.
I know a lot of people. Fight me.
they can't. they're bots.
I have ADD, so the large amount of content keeps my mind busy. Also I like lots of different celebrities, musicians, sports and politics.
I got 2,000 follow
Work related bullshit. And partially my own twisted sense of humor
Ha! I like to follow interesting people, fun accounts, informative accounts, all kinds of different folks. There's some good ones out there.
I have a lot to offer
It is just nice and awesome to follow them back.! 🙌🏼
I want to read what others want to say, if you follow just a small circle your timeline would be so boring
I need something else to entertain me in between your tweets.
I am scared and alone?
Caught
I don't watch the news or have a FB page, and I also love me some funny comedians.
Ha, I’d rather have the people with over 100,000 tweets explain themselves. With, you know, minimal amount of tweets.
They probably use lists
There are at least 1,000 Real Housewives and I follow them all!
Right you are !!!!
I thought @AnnaKendrick47 owned Twitter and they were all her aliases! Am I wrong?
It just kinda happens 🤷🏻♀️
I think even following 100 people is too much, keep the unwanted people out, keep them guessing.
It shows a mix of interests and engaging on a myriad of topics. Being a one-trick pony and/or having a big ego results in following <1,000.
No RT @AnnaKendrick47: Hey.
People who follow over 1,000 people on twitter.
Explain yourselves.
I'm bilingual!
Manage a karaoke company. Love your films and you.
Why'd you do 9/11??
TO MUCH INFORMATION
I love chaos 😂
429 and I'm still confused
I was young and stupid, and I don't want to take time and unfollow tons of people
Im halfway there
Lol theres just too much people i like that live online apparently 😂
We are venezuelans, Don't have free press and need a lot of sources to know whats going on in our country and around the world.
It's not called anti-social media
Follow me to make 290! 😬
They're all your size or smaller, so it takes numbers.
Uh shit idk I'm at 1051 but it's mostly sports and shoe releases. And people I find interesting or funny. Shit I don't have a reason do I?
Idk it's a lot of work to go and unfollow people.
For the memes
Doing Not - Not enough time
Famous people are naturally claustrofobic even on Twitter.
Know your enemy? Only following 200 though so I'm primarily just winging it.
There's a lot of interesting information on this app. 7 billion people on earth. At least 1k are worth a follow.
because they follow back their fans 😂
I follow people I like—I don't read everything obviously. I use lists to follow specific accounts where I want to read everything they say
I want a blue checkmark because I’m only 3.725% famous and my life is meaningless
You's all so faskinatin'...
I am going to admit you made me look. 507 and admittedly could cut quite a few of those.
hey..
I just followed you 1000 times cause your jokes never get old.....
Never a dull moment on my feed.
seriously...but you should def follow me
I follow many people I disagree with.
Related: I like getting angry in my spare time
I will eventually use this for self marketing, so I imagine I'll have to connect with fans on a more personal level.
Just means I find more than 1k of people on here interesting.
I have to do it because I'm not famous and quid pro quo is the only way I can get followers.
I need more memes
Clean up is a pain
I think you explained it prettyyy well , they are people... people are weird ,they do weird ass shit ....
Hey.
People who have over 6 million followers on twitter.
Explain yourselves.
Pro reason: Because networking! Real reason: Because I have a horribly intermittent guilt complex and feel bad if I don't return the favor?
This. 👍
I have a full, vibrant life. Why pick this beef?
They have no life?!?!?!
I don't follow that many so I'm good:)
Multiple personality disorder?
Hey. People with over 6 million followers who never tweets fans and the little people as their so far up their own arse. What's that about?
It makes me look less like of a dick. It doesn't help
I like nice round numbers.
That are easily divisible by ten.
They don't have time to explain themselves.
I will only follow you if you only follow me. 💟
a lot of the accounts are probably inactive now x))
phew 823 i'm in the clear
I have no life.
I'm sorry father for I have sinned
I like to keep up to date on politics and sports
It happens 😂🤓
Err, looking for love....
Actresses: I follow you, @halleberry , and @BarbaraHershey8. So, there. And Halle posts sexy photos. *rowr*
1438 ... because I can.
I like chaos
I have varied and eclectic interests...plus, I'm easily distracted by shiny things. Makes me feel bad to leave people out.
You probably saw this one coming, but...#BasicBitch #MeanGirls
I follow almost exactly as many people as you do...though you have a SLIGHT edge as to number of followers. Only fair. :)
I am just a big fan of you and you than you meet other anna kendrick fans and than you are following them and they follows you back
I follow people in different time zones so they're not all tweeting at once
trying to trim down from 900 to 500 following myself...
I did that! Totally worth the effort. I used @Crowdfire (they don't pay me to say this) to weed out inactives, non-followbacks etc
There's enough room in our hearts for everybody? ❤️
I think they’re like that tv show about hoarders. Or like crazy cat people. Or something.
It's like a firehose of memes. I just put my mouth on the edge and open it full blast.
Been here a while.
But you are so awesome, cool and very beautiful
social media points matter.
I guess I am just nosey
I really don't know, good question. Evaluating my entire existence now.
all mine are celebrities, models, websites, sports teams, athletes and gamers. Also a couple of your fan page.
I'm not famous like you?
Because people are interesting and seeing many views on life is important
Can I get you to 290 though?
"follow me!" *follows*. Also, follow me. ;)
You can't keep trolling the same 999 people all the time it gets boring
*checks to make sure she's not one of THOSE people* nope, check!
Twitterbot
I'm hovering at 600 -- but I could use a few more followers. RT?
I work in entertainment news and journalism! Plus... I like following smart writers.
Do smart writers turn into dumb writers ever?
I was here first. I have no idea about the 999
Cool to see what people think. Get the news and so on.
Because someone once told me I can Twitter however I want.
Film twiter + Book twitter + comedy twitter + pundit twitter - it adds up!
1. I'm only to 880, but have interest in sports, films, politics...and I follow back whoever follows me unless it's spam, so I'll get there.
2. Funny, though. Ever since I followed Tommy Chong I've been getting lots of pot-related followers. Hmmmm...
I've been wondering this for a decade
I follow 80. That may be too many... ;)
Follo back
Been here for a while. :)
With 6.2 million followers, aren't you afraid that everything you say will be used against you, some way, some how?
Too many bands and too many famous people. Haha
It gives me, I feel, a gestalt understanding of humanity
hahahahahaha this is perfect.
Since you're under 1k followings , follow me 😂❤
999 and counting
I kinda get 1000. But 10k plus? 😳
lists. lists. lists.
Put me on a list, not the FBI kind.
I like people?
Look, I just want to hear from a minimum of 200 people every single day
I just don't have a life🤷🏼♀️
i only folo about 600 but it's a PIA to delete any, since as far as I can tell you can only look in chronological order of when u followed.
Maybe they just follow too many fandoms for their own good :(.
we all socialize through the love of you (:
ha! 938! I don't have to explain anything!
Sports news, movie news, interesting celebs, friends, colleagues, romantic interests, etc...
The more people I follow, the more likely I'll get free pie from one of them.
can't, busy reading tweets!
I'm scared to feel alone, but I don't actually want to leave my house where the food and coffee are.
i don't even see myself following 100 people 1,000 u people are amazing lol
Check out my boys SoundCloud @CL4Y_UD
would you follow 1000 people in real life though?
It was an accident
Personally, I'm still not happy that i follow more than 100 people
I get weirded out at having 100.
Because there are more than 289 interesting people in the world.
You were no 1001.
Um 😞lol
I only follow 974. Sorry, I can't help.
uhh well..good question Anna. because i have met a lot of amazing people on here & I am always will to meet someone new..so yea that's why.
I only follow people who tweet once a month
I almost follow 1k, but it's only people who I've seen in movies, tv shows, or from from youtube, or video games, and some personal.
I don't follow random people, or do that follow for follow shit.
I have wide and varying interests.
Because times when there are no new tweets are the worst.
I feel attacked
Is it uncool to follow a lot of people? Haha-wait 10 yrs when, if your lucky like me, you care a lot less of what other people think of you😊
okay look, I don't like to go out and socialize, so I like to live vicariously through the people I follow
I just weeded a few out this morning, follow sports mostly too uch of same shit
More follows = more polls
This world is full of amazing people and I have varying interests.
Because I want all of the info. Random facts of life are gained by random follows.
Twitteraati.
I would, but I don't...
(No comment)
Well you see it gives me a large amount of diversity so I'm never bored with the tweets. Follow me you'll see its great.
I've been using Twitter for 10 years and most of them don't post anymore.
I don't follow that many just came here to say I like cake...
I don't get it either..
Sports! And why aren't you following me?
I spend 80% of my life keeping it under 1k.
I follow 81,half of them never tweet, and I have a hard time keeping up
There are lot of porn stars out there to keep track of...
Can't relate...I only follow you!
I hate my self 😊
(No comment)
they say the more friends you have the internet the less friends you have in real life. #OneThousandFriends
Mostly pornstar drama
If I like to follow people IRL, no explanation needed right? damn- that would be some ubercreepy s--- right there.
Idk, there's a little of everything? Brands, celebs, cool people, irl friends! I've tried to narrow it down and it doesn't do much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I only follow the important people. Like #scrappylittlenobody like yourself.
I like memes and celebrities what do u mean
I would follow you anywhere 1000 times.
#FOMO you Mo-Fo? I Dunno...
A lot of sporadic tweeters who are pleasant surprises when they do show up in my timeline.
5,000 channels and nothing's on.
Sometimes a girl needs the latest scoop on pantry organization and mommy blogs! 💁
I am on 997 so nothing to see here...
Because people are awesome 😁
I'm too lazy to go back and unfollow inactive accounts.
I love making new friends???? I dont know it's a federal crime???
it's important to diversify the information available to you, thereby ensuring possibility of diverse or at least well-informed viewpoints
I have no life of my own so I kinda have to live through the adventures, as told in tweets, of others
Porn & celebrities. More is better.
The cool people like you don't tweet enough!
ANNA I SAW YOUR TWEET LATE BC I WAS LOOKING A PUPPY CORGI AND I CAN'T BE MAD NOW
I like noise.
I like making the box turn blue.
Hey American you got Trump as president, for the sake of humanity, explain yourself.
I uh...can't.
I have no real friends😯
people keep posting funny stuff
follow me - that's enough 🤔
9/10 of those accounts go inactive within a month or two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How else will I find that one girl who really wants to see a picture of my junk in her DMs?
It's fairly easy. Different people tweet at different times and you get to see lots of different opinions/happenings from around the world
The big Q is how do you read your TL with that many follows?
And don't tell me about lists. Ain't got time for that!
Shenanigans
Yeah! That's a good question 😂🤔
No I don't. Nor will I
Only 92 for me. You made the cut!
we're like "fuck this shit"
People are actually explaining themselves.
#FollowRandomPeople
People with blue ticks sometimes follow me... most of the time they follow 250k plus, takes the excitement away 🤷♂️
Professional. Hobbies. Interesting people. I think that about covers it.
I follow pretty much everything. I only have notifications for the ones I care about. Like yours 😘
OCD stalker?
I'm nosey 👍🏻
Why not
Erm...trying to get more followers to see my awesome images...I think. Or I'm just lonely.
I can't Aaaah just obsessed with yall
I'm not saying I have that many at all but how and why u chosen ur 200+?? EXTREMELY CURIOUS!
To lazy to go through and unfollow .. well and trump made me do it , I followed 800 max i think b4 he became prez
In 8 years on here, I've found 1,090 interesting people, should you not be one?
It's a surprise everytime I log on. I never know what I'm getting.
They're most all in #TheBloggessTribe and well, #MyPeople so, no choice. ☺️
girl yes drag them
I wish I just had 100 people following me, I guess I'm boring, until maybe you follow me?! :) I tried at least...
True thing😂😂 Can never fucking imagine following 1000 people.
Simple. You're a tiny amazeballz package of snarky, scrappy, sarcasm, and I love it.
Yea stop looking like you try so hard.
I use lists and Tweetdeck columns by list, hashtag, topic, search, etc...
Had to check mine because it feels like I follow over 1000. A cool 251 with a sweet sweet 60 following me. #impopular #twitterfamous #not
only people worth following are you and @VernNotice tbh
this is true
Nuzzel needs a good sample size
There are a lot of nice, funny people, and I can't choose between them.
I got nothing better to do.. FML!😐
I won't tolerate this kind of attack. Take it back, Anna Kendrick Lamar!
I follow 62, somehow have gained 27 followers. I don't post anything interesting, so not sure why they are there. 😂😂
Because your awesome!
I have a hard time keeping up with the 132 that I have!!
Increasing the likelihood of seeing a tweet that makes me laugh and isn't Trump related. Gotta play the odds ;)
probably because they don't have the interaction you do on their timeline as you have over 6m followers
Real talk
Not gonna lie, I need to check how many people I follow right now to see if I need to explain myself.
Awesome, I follow only 480 people. What do I win?
They followed me first. Aaand now I feel mad. Thaanks Anna....
It just kind of happened.
Like how you accidentally spend 3 hours watching Netflix
Too many celebrities to follow!!!! @AnnaKendrick47
I think it just happens. One day it's one, the next a 1000😀
Huge chunk of it is news or organizations. And I am in a lot of online communities. Twitter is heavily prevalent.
Guessing most answers are some variant of 'we're not famous and that's how we GET followers'. My 22 followers I got through my own grit tho
They don't actually read anything.
I'm getting there. 😂 And the reason is because I don't want my timeline to stop running at 3 a.m. hehe
Now that is what i want to ask my friend!
#WhyFollowRandomPeople
they do it for the followback. just a numbers game so they can feel special saying I have over 1000 followers.
50% of Twitter users don't tweet at all
I'm a bot!
0100100101010100 010010 01011000111
Well, I was only at 1,000, then I found you!! And, the rest is history ;-)
People are interesting
I like to feel loved by my feed
I follow: bands, artists, actresses :) news & weather, actual people I know in real life, etc
same! I don't know that many people
Barbarians.
Got to get bts scoop on my favorite TV shows somehow :)
They don't check their twitter

Sorry, no time.
Just trying to be as close to the gorgeous ladies as possible.
I keep my total under 665. Unless, of course, you wanna follow me. I'll make an exception. :)
I'm baffled people follow me at all.
Hey! When did I start following so many people too???
Twitter Lists. Revolutionary.
I just like a variety of stuff
Lonely?
Blockbuster video has 24,000 followers and they haven't tweeted since 2014. That's why.
Sports, Celebrities, TV, and New Yorker authors are more numerous than in the days of forgotten yore?
their timeline must be so messy
I've got a problem
I'm not there yet, but mostly it's public figures I want to here from/see on my timeline. I'm a lurker.
Variety of opinions, don't live in a bubble.
I have too much of a life to follow that many people. I'm choosy about which people I follow.
Hey explain why you don't follow me on twitter
Creepin' on cool celebs like yourself 😭
Some of us don’t have the luxury of being famous to get people to follow us. Takes an effort. And that effort is reading 1000s of tweets.
Hey.
Anna who didn't favorite or reply to my amazing tweet the other day.
Explain yourself.
💜
I'm severely lacking in numbers
Give love, get love.
If not for work, who has time for that?!?! Know I don't.
it just happened.. i'm sorry
no idea. But you need to be following an even 300 people. I'd be honored to be 299 and help you get there. #IDoWhatICan
phew thankfully I'm at just under that threshold 😅
They're desperate
I do it just to scroll and see what people are up to or stuff in the news or whatever haha
Hi Anna. I absolutely never want to get over 1000. That’s my stopping point. When I see it over 1000, I unfollow people to get under it
I only follow like no more than 20 people
I'd like to understand as well
When I get there, I'll just do what I do, cause I'm me.
hi
I'm only following half of 1000 people on tw.
They're all memes...
Porn, the Internet is for porn.
To experience the depths of the human experience. Also, sports work.
Are you trying to get people to unfollow you?
yeah i cant keep up with what I've got. My question is actors like you, no way you can read all of ypur notifications. Hard?
and a fricken typo. Damn phone
I would, but I have too many people to follow...plus all eight of my follows depend on me to entertain them....are you NOT entertained? <3
No lives, narcissistic personality, Donald Trump...
why not? :D
they want followbacks
one kinda gets carried away 😂
I only follow close friends and certain verified companies and people so that won't happen for a while.
It's either I like them or they're very informative fan accounts
People are interesting creatures
I use twitter like the old RSS days. If I like something, I follow it. If it's too annoying I unfollow. No harm in following too many.
I don't 😒
well I know it's not me, because I'm only following 20 people, and your one of the 20 people... I have a lame life😂
I dont. I only chose the best! 😁
Because you're about to retweet me 😍❤
Not everyone is a celebrity
😇 I only follow 177. #itsnotcreepyifitssports
I'm here for the sex bots. 🤐🤐🤐
has some explaining to do.
I have more than one interest?
You have Gaslight Anthem and that's it. Don't lie to the nice lady.
They're really really sociable.
It always keeps twitter interesting
If you actually take the time to read these...that's awesome. I think it's hilarious that people are actually explaining why!
Creepers, stalkers, gawkers, trolls... lonely.
Yeah I follow 699 people and can't keep up haha
I can only imagine bots. Nothing more exciting than being followed by a verified user with 150k following.
Takes that many to find something worth reading, a gold nugget tweet in the shit sifter, if you will. So basically you and @VancityReynolds.
I follow mostly sports accounts (teams, beat writers, media, etc) where I can get info, news from, I gotta stay in touch
7 billion people on earth. 1K is .000000148571-ish of that. Small for one who likes different perspectives
I keep my list clean. <100. Hard to maintain but worth it. FEEL HONORED.
you follow over 200? Only C list celebs follow that many.
Tweet bait
I'm not at 1000 yet, but I never get tired of funny people and cute animals!
If anyone's response includes "YOLO", I may punch them in the face
I'm only really on here to follow you. So....yeah.
I follow for cool people like you made a clever & interesting tweets too...Even for sports for tweets too
why not
I will not!
I don't follow that many but I try to follow back with all of my followers.
I have more than enough following 44.
crap I just checked and I have 1k+. I guess I like a lot of people's tweets... even the inactive ones 😳
Problem is...Twitter is limited not to go over 2K followers & still intact w/ this rule today in Twitter world
Some people are funny?
I love people
Wow! I don't even follow 100 people, am I a loser?
I don't. But my jug band does. That's about the only way you can convince people to follow a jug band @EverlyJugBand
Ha ha! Busted over here too. It's hard out here in the jug band world
I'll follow your jug band if you follow my jugband. @EverlyJugBand see, @AnnaKendrick47 ? This is the sad, sad world we live in.
there is talks abt you being batgirl and i say u should demand to be cast in tht roll. its gonna be fun for you. do it do it do it do iiiiit
I'm hoping they'll follow me back?
I watch a lot of TV Shows and follow a lot of the actors lol
They're BOTS, sugartits...
Hey if those 1000 people are on the way to Taco Bell then why not? #tacos #inmybelly
Wouldn't it make your timeline trash??
Love you, Anna, you little weirdo.
Only 5% of them still use Twitter.
I mean, what's one more? follow please
they don't have a life... 😉
people with over 1k followers should do the same
I seek social acceptance through tweets
what if i followed 999
I guess the world is really big and there's a lot of interesting people to follow!! XOXO
I can't even think of that many people and I even follow the scrappy little nobody's like yourself 😉
I'm a creep.
You're famous so you probably don't notice the regulars don't tweet that often and if they do, boom instantly interesting #notfamous
Lack of control.
It's called research & maybe if u did more of it u might win an OSCAR! Oh was that my outside voice! @TheRealAnnaCamp @Brittanysnow
Im not famous
85% are muted.
If it's good enough for @BarackObama then it's good enough for me (seriously, he's following 631k and counting!)
I had to check. Not even. 1/2 way there. Odds are: bots
you're perfect Anna
you lmao 😂
i follow you 1,000 times. so deal with it.
It took me 999 attempts to find your real account
Gotta get ALL the info!!!
I must be famous, I have 0 followers lmao
they are just very nosey and have the feeling of quality over quantity
don't look at me. I follow 57 and can't keep up with that!
Please share the best explanations- that's always confused me. I can barely keep up with my few.
People are funny.
I was hacked & gave up on trying to unfollow all the pornstars and Arabic people; instead I just have some people's tweets sent to my phone🙃
*checks my own follower count"... Yea! Explain!
Multitasking masters! #crazybitches
I just unfollowed 100 people because I can't explain why I'm like this 🤷🏼♀️
I'm guessing they mute most of them.
shit happens.
Instantly checked to see if I do... glad I am not
I follow almost 8,000. It took me that many to find you.
This is the most rude tweet I've seen in a long time. I bet it satisfied the giant void that is your ego in your otherwise meager existence.
Knowing that someone's cousin's brother's dog heard that Lebron is going to be traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs is important.
I don't understand how people can follow so many accounts! :)
It might be a project for a social science experiment
People who follow under 1000 people on twitter. Explain yourselves.
I just want friends. I'm sorry.
It's the new butt-dial
Don't tell me how to live my life.
You're 1 out of 189
I have to be online at all times.
Because Nuzzel makes it doable?
You were A+ in Mike and Dave need Wedding Dates....Well done
spending a nice Friday at work ugh!!!!!
I'm interested in too many things and people . I can't keep up 👿
Follow me and I'll explain
bots. All of them. Even the humans.
to many celebrities not enough time. 😀❤️
I wonder the same thing!
hey, I saw you in Austin for your book tour. Could you please rt this? My grandma is the victim. TY!
Nursing asst. suspended after Snapchat video taunting elderly woman surfaces
The nursing assistant suspended for allegedly posting videos of himself taunting an elderly patient may have posted similar videos in the past.
kvue.com
I'll tell you, but you have to follow me .. 😏
Not it.
They have a timeturner
Ikr ???
The more people I follow the more I can pretend I actually like people?
Introverts united (alone behind our keyboards)
Im sad and alone???
Don't hate the player hate the game
ugghhhhh I don't know I got very bored
Ok maybe it sounds weird but I ly so much
Yeah....can't help you there @AnnaKendrick47 I can't keep up with the 100+ I currently follow 🙄
I don't follow nearly that many, but I'm pretty sure it's networking...or undercover Russian spies. #TheMoreYouKnow
obviously they're so popular they have over 1,000 friends, can't be anyother reason
I just really want people to like me :/
I partially blame the whole 'follow back train thing' for it
only 324 and you are one of them - you should feel important...or at least know that I find you intriguing and interesting
It's a lot of work. Probably more than it's worth.
I like to read. A lot.
I have a short attention span. I need a good mix of random.
... "Research" (dunno how many I follow :P)
What would say if I only followed you? And all my tweets were about you?
#ExplainYourself some people I follow don't post regularly and I don't want to miss when they do. Flipside: some I follow post way too much.
I take long shits and reading is fundamental. @AnnaKendrick47
50-75% of them are muted lol
Some people have more friends, Sam. Not my case though. 🙂
In the words of the great band "Sick Puppies" I, I won't justify the way I live my life
PR, Developers, Influencers, industry professionals. Twitter is for business with a light dusting of friendship :P
real talk?! I'm just too damn lazy to unfollow people, shows, musicians that I used to be interested in.
I don't know
I'm not you sadly
too many friends...
I'm close to that. I'll start following somebody based off one retweet. It's gotten out of hand tbh.
I don't follow that many, but if I did it would be so that every time I open up Twitter there is something new to look at
I actually know a lot of people. Don't judge me! *sobs uncontrollably*
Just checked your account. Please eliminate 11 humans from your life immediately to meet the Kendrick bar.
Okay, I went in, and some #brands got the axe. I hope Anna is happy.
This made me follow you. Hahaha.
909 more to go and you'll have to answer to Anna, Amy!
By then you'll have written some kind of helpful guide to get me through it; for those of us who weren't always as popular.
The Kendrick Bar is absolutely a place I want to hang out.
I've been listening to Kendrick's bars all morning on Humble... wait...
Same. Also work. Friends and work.
In fact I probably follow the same number of people an actor personality would need to if they didn't have a manager, agent, and publicist.
I'm slacking. I only follow ~600 ish.
You follow more than follow you, which is a bad ratio
Im not very popular
It's because like how come you're so cool
boredom, mostly.
Just to feel like Charles Xavier
Glutton for punishment?
You're one of the >1000. Must I explain?
You'll always have a interesting timeline 🙃
(No comment)
Bye oh my god
When I find someone I want to follow, I don't go through my list and drop someone off. #nuffsaid
i follow more than 3K on Instagram
And 1,3K on Twitter
you never know what you're going to read about! I don't try to get everything, just dip into the stream and enjoy the flow.
I like people. But only on the internet.
Some people just like to engage with their audience. Just a simple follow can make someone's day 😊
Hmmm, no
95% of twitter user never posted anything yet. It's just in case they do ;)
I have nothing else to do with myself.
At 1,039. Mostly fans of local teams. Love engaging with them, reading hot takes, etc.
I'm a very nosey person
I follow 1,598 but I bet less than 1/2 of them actually post daily.
i dont have that much yet
Life has a wide variety of fascinating people and things that I can't help but follow along.
A lot of beautiful stuff, a lot of not-so beautiful stuff. And I can all handle it from a single timeline view.
The amount of people answering this seriously & the amount of people getting so defensive about this tweet is both sad & hysterical.
I like sitting and watching how people are ruining their own lives. Plus it's better than watching tv soaps.
Haaaaa. Yes please.
I believe it has something to do with them trying to get followers in return. I have wondered this myself.
explain yoself!
Maybe we should just unfollow you then
I can't... even... 1,000 people. Too much!
mute. button.
why follow if you’re just going to mute?
to be nice to ppl who follow me first. if I want to give you a follower but not to have to see your tweets.
Um. That's not nice tho'.
I def don't do it for everyone who follows me but it is how I manage that many follows
Your account is irrelevant though
Show support for without the annoying waffle 😋
some people get annoying as they go through different phases. Dont want to permanently unfollow, like maybe unmute after March Madness
I put them in a list and then mute them.
People just press mute. But why know that already judging the replies.
That's how our poor little unverified accounts work darling. Follow back 😭
News baby. Most stories can be told in 140 with a link to more. And, I can choose who has something decent to say.
Different people tweet about different things and different prospective it is also the modern day RSS feed
I dont understand it
People with terrible cover photos on twitter, explain yourself.
Why not? Life is short anyways
With you on that one Anna. I have hard enough time scrolling through the 40 people i follow
I'm not guilty of that. You still have plenty of follower room left. 😜😬
I just do. No particular reason.
I have seen people following more then 2million people 😂
You're not the only awesome person on Twitter...
I care about everyone's opinions so I'm interested to see what people say.
I also got hacked and am to lazy to go unfollow everyone...
Seriously just checked to see how many people I follow in panic due to @AnnaKendrick47 333, that's ok, right? 😂
I follow 141 people…
Mutals :'v
It's too difficult to weed through and remove people at this point. I use Lists to make it easier to keep up with people by topic.
twitter lists are the best part of twitter
If someone lists me I unfollow.
I'm new to twitter.. anyone care to explain the lists?
well, thats why I use private lists, then you never know I did
Paranoia just kicked in... I'm on lists and don't know it. Ack! 😧
Welcome to the Matrix.
I'm thinking I need lessons ;)
Legacy followers are a sunk cost of longtime Twitter use
I haven't figured out how to set up list, but I haven't even tried. Maybe it's time.
Hey @jack, any chance Lists will become visible/useful again? Why bury them?
They need followers and I want to help them cause I'm kind and cute😂 Love u Anna! 😘
I'm just trying to have my timeline so clogged i forget my loneliness
Sometimes I'm bored
No timeline, Mention only 😭
I don't follow 1000+ people, if you do you become an omnipotent tweetly that poops rainbows and prances under the stars.
Or at least that's what I was told...
I can't even explain the 67 I follow...
I like you. A lot. I creep on you sometimes.
I normally shut off everyone s rts , but ya I only follow around 500!😎
(No comment)
but Anna, you're one of the thousand...
They're either nice and follow back.... 👀👀
Or just curious.
stop being mean to @LILBTHEBASEDGOD
JaJu not sure of very much but he think u the bees knees 😎
Simple: I don't follow a 1000 people.
Because it isn't just people that we follow. Also places (bookstores) and things (magazines/newspapers/radio shows/tv shows) Vroom, vroom
I follow over 400 people but I bet 10% of those I follow = 80% of my feed
"Following someone shows support" -Everyone who uses social media trying to get a job out of it
What if you are one of the 1000 people they follow though?
They are bots!!
*reads tweet* "Ooh, I like this person" *follow*
*reads tweet* "Ooh, I like this person" *follow*
*reads tweet* "Ooh, I like this person" fo
I JUST LIKE TWITTER OK!?!?! STOP ATTACKING ME!@!!
I enjoy getting updated with all the news and community and seeing what everyone's up to!
We're too friendly NOT to follow someone and probably easily distra... Oh! A new GoT trailer!
We can't all be cool like you, Anna. 😕
Following is kind of bookmarking for me since I follow lots of artists
Entertainment from the masses.
I cant, I only follow like 5 people. In a sad person
(No comment)
I used to follow 1000+ but my feed became a garbled mess so I did a purge, 👍🏽.
Now my follower list is an exclusive club, 😎.
#IFeelSoCool
Not everyone can get followers because our face looks familiar from the tv. Many of us have to demonstrate having something to contribute.
Ikr 😂 I am barely following more than 100
I have one word for you: @meshfire ;-)
I could never take in that much content
Someone's gonna be here for some other trans people. Also, private lists help.
I forgot I was following over a 1,000 people
I follow 36 people on Twitter. If made to I could probably make up some Ron Swanson-sounding reason why so few, but... who has the time?
They are people with huge brains and 7 or 8 eyes.
I have no excuse #ijusthavealotoffeelings
Kek (笑´・艸・) In either way, more or less 100 is good enough for me. Can't even tell who is who & right to left if go over that !!
The best people on Twitter say f**k all.
I think they are those bots with suspicious links in their bios that follow people randomly
idk can you follow me tho
🙄 I like to be in the lool alright
Dont really know how I have 175?? I have like 6 friends 😂
I like many things, and have to like them all together
i like stuff
Follow for follow ?? Anyone
Explain this?
i like endless content anna. don't judge me.
2 much free time
It's bc you are awesome and one of the 1000 people we follow
jobless.
That's like three people per day for a year.
I haven't even made it to 100 yet!
Only 300 something and you're 1. Don't you feel special?!
I don't even know who I follow anymore.
lol, they aren't people, They are marketing robits ;)
Hmm...yeah...good point
I like people
F4f or bots
You're nearly 1/3 of the way there
Laziness?
Not even close! Don't think I follow 100 let alone 1000!!
follow for follow. It's sad.
🤔🤔🤔😁❤
(Possibly sensitive)
I follow 171
So many cool people in the world
I'm fairly close and I'd say I could follow more and not have my feed flooded. I wish there was an easier way to unfollow people
Right?
In need of anyone whom they can call a friend
I follow 70 people and that's enough for me!
It just happens man. I dunno.
I'm not there yet. But pretty sure I could reach that number just on Game of Thrones characters.
maybe they just lonely
500 even seems like too much
Follow 3k+. Primarily use for professional "firehose" of interesting news from useful people, don't try to read it all, dip in as needed.
I cant even get that many followers 😂😂
i follow like..... 5 people, you, a couple cosplayers, thecrimsonfuckr, and satan.
well, there are MLB teams, and NHL teams, and players. Minor league teams. Writers, Broadcasters. And super funny actresses.
Diversification of opinion.
My timeline it's funnier.
I'm out
daaahhh timeline.....gossip 😂😂😂
Lonely 😔
people are interesting and i like following people i've met and interacted with IRL! I CAN'T HELP THAT THE WORLD IS BIG, ANNA KENDRICK. :(
a subplot: 'help i just met 80 people at this con what do i do, do i follow them all back, if i don't is that bad networking SOCIAL ANXIETY'
make a twitter list! very non committal!
They're so high maintenance though
Just follow them in real life, hire PIs and explain that your creating a real life social network, And they hope it's okay 😳
I am 676 people away from having to explain myself. xD
promotion for my dog that rides motorcycles with me... He has a YouTube channel. Although it's still too cold here in Maine
one word. Porn.
I have far too much time on my hands.
And there are far too many attractive women out there.
What would your feed even look like 😯
Is it weirder to follow over 1 thousand people or to be followed by over 6 million? #showerthoughts
Good Question.... nosy parkars...😂
Hey.
People with over 6M followers.
Cups wasn't all that.
Who knows? Variety is the spice of life? Maybe major FOMO? Maybe they like to have tons of notifications to feel popular?
Political like minds, political nothing like minds, famous folk I like, people I think are worth hearing from, news, actual friends
IDHK how many ppl I follow but it is partly to have a far reach for my non-profit work
no life
Can't relate. This is how I get my news. How else will I know if @chrissyteigen burnt someone?
I'm a fast reader,I have a lot of interests & my kids loved The Trolls movie. Have a great weekend! P.S. Loved your Book!
I only follow around 300 peeps, you're one of those :) you should feel privileged, there are 5billion odd people I don't follow! Love you <3
People who follow that many like to think the world hangs on their every word. I personally know that no one cares about what I say.
I follow 145, and you are one of 11 I am not related to or actual friends IRL. Feel special.
Totally
99% of my twitter follows is football related. scouts, players, football sports writers
this is nothing, my timeline is too slow for me sometimes
Nosy
I don't get how ppl keep up with more than 100. I do have 5 followers tho..
I follow anybody who tweets things that interest me, and there are far more then 1,000 of those. Get notifications from top 5 or so accounts
make lists
I follow 138. I'll drop 136 just for you 😆
Follows can be exchanged for goods and services.
I assume, i don't follow that many people.
I like to people watch
Easy. 250="normal" conversations, 350="sometime" conversations, 200="rare" conversations, rest=enjoy their content.
If people didn't follow over 1000 people on twitter you wouldn't have had so many followers 😜
Different people for different things lmao. Gotta have twitter diversity!
True that I honestly follow 5/280 something 😂
Holy crap I follow 41 and that's overwhelming sometimes....:
Is it a bad thing? I like following interesting and informative tweeters. Makes twitter more interesting! #tweetnation
You made me check how many I follow. 581. I'm good. HAHAHA! XD
779. I stopped following people after I added you. :) #cheesyline
I find cool sounding profile names and hit the button
If those 1,000 people don't say anything then it doesn't really matter. I only follow cool people, that's I keep my count real ;)
I enjoy opening Twitter and only being able to see what's happened in the last four minutes
To much work unfollowing the inactive accounts so just end up with 2000 and the time zones America isn't up for long
a question for the ages. I follow 46 people, and can barely keep up.
no worries here, you're one of the lucky 23
*frantically checks own profile to see if I am following less than 1000*
Lists - ya welcome Anna ;)
How about the people that follow hundreds of thousands of people or even millions. A few thousand is not a big deal.
I tend to follow back out of politeness if they're not jerks, trolls, or obvious bots
I follow mostly sports fans common to my favorite teams. One stop shop for all your daily news.
Are there that many interesting people?
Why aren't you following millions of fans??? You explain yourself!
What a tiresome way to interact with people who do things differently from you.
I basically follow every journalist, scientist or software engineer I come across on Twitter. Vast majority don't tweet very often.
Your tweet seems really pointed right now...
Absolutely!!
I love them all so much
for dat ass
News aggregation. I used Facebook and Snap for interacting with friends; Twitter to cull as much info as possible
Some of us have more than one family. Like, a second family in Canada and so...oh shit. Forget I said anything!
the entire point of twitter is to gather information from a wide range of sources
passed that point on my first weekend...i got of interests...& free time ...& issues...i got issues ... please cover this song...squirrel!!
Don't try to drink out of the firehose. I check a private twitter list of my favorite accounts daily.
Because the world is a big place?
I find that hobbies of years past stay on the follow list. Photography, motorcycles, etc all add more, but I neglect cleaning up. :(
I follow far too many artists
I have to live vicariously though somebody. And the more people I follow the more I live! 😁
ummm...
Mute!!
No. My stalking habit were learned by you. You explain
Lists, Anna. Lists. Sports. Friends. Storm Chasing.
And you.
squirrel was a ref to the movie "up" ... my explanation makes no sense without this knowledge, sorry ... all the best
I'm pretty sure 1,000 is a number...
If I followed 1,000 people, it would basically be the entire state of Maine.
there’s just so many fascinating individuals on Twitter I could never keep as low as 300 souls.
I don't even know a thousand people. That's including celebrities #imsheltered #imnotcool #butilikeoperaandmusicals #andtoomanyhashtags
Business.
I just decided to follow you too
there are a lot of great comedians on twitter. And we all need the smiles 😊😁🤗
sorry, NO TIME FOR THAT!
Yeah @JackHollingdale .... explain yourself!
Because the expanse of human knowledge and experience is not limited to a handful of celebrities.
In times of Trump, there are so many excellent experts who are top of their fields. & I support the knowledgeable
That's like living in the country and asking people why the live in a city
only at 939. That was a close one. How can I proudly explain myself when I'm a cat in human form?
I like people.
Crazy right?
1000 following/1000 followers...I'm not even that special. Nobody likes me that's much and I don't have the time. 😐
I'm afraid that I'll miss something....
I think it's appropriate to follow 2xs the amount of followers you have yourself
Crazy fools! lol
So many verified people...
I have a short attention span and need a constantly new source of enjoyment
Maybe they have a lot of interests, ANNA
hahahahahhaaa. 😂😂😂
I follow back everyone who follows me.
when you've been on Twitter for a decade and you're a curious person it happens.
since I have been on Twitter for so long, dozens and dozens are defunct accounts. Too lazy to manually cull the list.
I follow over 3000 people, is that bad?
I had to check. I follow 65. I think there's some embarrassment on the other end of the spectrum too.
Just wanted to see if you actually read these responses. Blink twice for yes, once for no.
Iol what are you a cop? I plead the 5th! Oh wait I don't have that many. Cap was that an admission of guilt?
I had to check... and I can't explain why😞
i'm a pretty nice person and i follow ppl back :)
I was thinking the same 🤔
Hockey fans/news/teams
I ride the line at 900ish and it's, oh boy, exhilarating.
We do whatever we damn well pleased,Anna. Go build a snowman
Like seriously, You can't even keep track of 100
They can't. They're too busy catching up on their time lines. I'm just here to watch @ChrisEvans fight with actual nazis.
The human brain can only comprehend about 150 relationships.
I can only comprehend about 15.
1000 is just a fucking nightmare.
What about the ones who are following like 92K people...
I receive a wide variety of information from sources all over the world.
most of them are my followers and I know they don't read my tweets but I love them special anyways AK47
With you on that.
Flip side? More troubling is someone with 1,000 followers who only follows 14 cuz they already know all.
got drunk. pressed buttons.
They don't have time to explain themselves.
Ha! There's a lot of entertaining people out there.
Right though 🤷♀️
i am #disabled often my body is my prison (when not a torture chamber)
so the internet often substitutes for the world at large
Send nudes
I don't feel that I have to explain anything. 😜
I'm bored and I can't masturbate indefinitely. I've tried, believe me.
Celebrities say dumb shIt.*
*Present tweetee excluded.
Yeah I have not following back guilt. 😂
I'm lonely..
I follow just under 1,000 people to avoid having to explain myself.
(No comment)
because I am nosey. I probably should unfollow some but then where would my life be . But adding more to fulfilll the loss
Hey.
People who follow @AnnaKendrick47.
Ditto.
right?! And instagram
Because there are more than 1,000 interesting people and things in the world. I discover more every day and they add up!
Not sure I'll ever break 50. 😂
I like people.
Also, who sends ten-thousands of tweets??
I slept on the follow button.
Well I haven't hit quite that many people to follow yet (only 20 something) but as for following you ... I need a laugh.
Take really really long shits.
We don't get a little blue check mark next to our names
yh so whenever I refresh I see something nEW 🤘
Your hot
Easy. FOMO.
I do it for a laugh. But I don't follow anywhere near 1000 people. Yet.
To like all 1000 of them. Or just to you? Hey yourself. Have a good day, be productive!
Use to follow about 700 but half we're spam accounts and now I only follow 350
I just keep finding cool people who also like insects, birds and fossils #SciTwitter #EntoTwitter #Dinosaurs
Who the hell would even do that? The noise! The noise!
I can't. I just follow.
We forget to unfollow people
I have a wide variety of interests pls don't hurt me
It's clear you only follow verified people...
It's little hard to explain when u have 6.2 milllion followers
you've got plenty of room might as well follow me
What is "twitter"?
Lol 😆
I will follow you and no one else if you go on a date with me. Cross my heart and hope to die.
sorry mom
what's the perfect #?
Sports news
I only followed Disney and already got overwhelmed...But I'm probably doing this Twitter wrong
Is it weird I only follow you? I mean, that's okay - right?
Shit.
🤐
Lots of interesting folks here. I have a core group that I communicate with most often, but news/ politics/ science = lots of great follows.
I'm at 300 and sometimes even that seems like too much! Time to clean house.
I follow 160, and you're one of the lucky ones!
Hey.
Will mansplainin do? Just wondering.
Would #Mansplainin be something one does for one's self or could it be done for or to others? #Confused
I have no idea how to! 😝🙊🤣
I like lots of different stuff, and there's a lot of opinion out there!
There are more than 1000 interesting/funny/entertaining people on here. But not more than 2000. More than 2000 is trying to get followers.
Robots can follow as many people as they like. And they're very quick to reply!
Hi, my name is David and I'm an addict. U mean like that? 😬✌🏻
I treat it like the water cooler conversation. If I'm there & following, cool... if not, it's ephemeral and I don't worry about missing it.

تنكت خويتك
Only follow the important ones i.e. You and a few others
my spouse: "they mute the people they don't want to actually see."
Im gonna follow u 1000 time!
I like reading, but I have no money for books.
Hey! Not everyone has a fancy job like you! Don't judge us... Who are you to judge? Miss Job?!?
Sports, beer, pretty and funny people.
Making connections. I follow you just because you're awesome. Your humor doubles me over sometimes. lol
I'm up to a solid 24.
I don't, but I can see how someone would in order to show support for a large amount of people and causes. Though they could never keep up.
There are a lot of amazing people on this planet... you'd be surprised ;)
(No comment)
Idk i just like a lot of people... ya know?
Ppl who want more followers
It's not your business...
You're not the boss of me!
I'm really passionate about a lot of shit.
True... there are people who follow like 3000 accounts and I'm not even sure if I want to know how they manage that
alot of mine are venues podcasts comedians and film news accts bc Twitter is great for comics & to stay informed on upcoming films & events
(No comment)
Why not 😂
Amen sister!
You're 996. We are safe!
Lots of friends
I just like a lot of people OKAY.
i use lists heavily and just kinda dip in and out of the main tl
Well I start following celebrities whose names start with A then I move onto A sports stars, then A animals....1/61
Most of them don't tweet often, or I don't look at them often, I have them organized into lists.
We can't all be hot and get 1 million followers automatically. I tweet about Doritos, hockey, and my dog. That's real shit right there.
Guilty as charged. I like to follow people that follow me. Ok..maybe I have a problem...but, I can quit at anytime.
I really like you and 999+ other interesting beautiful aweome people like yourself. #NeverStopScrolling #ThatsHowIScroll
because there's more than 1,000 celebrities and news accounts lmao stupid question
Hey.
Those 2,000+ accounts are dedicated to loving you.
You're welcome.
it's all good tho bc i don't even use or look at my timeline so i don't have to see them to know they're there
i got a big heart and lots of intrests😂😂😂😂
Because I can.
Work - I cover over a dozen states for my job. Plus information, media and entertainment. Besides, I like the variety
I used to follow back, but now I'm just too lazy to clean up my list. Thanks for the reminder though. :)
(No comment)
They arent arrogant or feel "celebrity" within themselves. They show love back.
Too many interesting people out there to limit yourself to just a few voices & it's the closest we'll come to reading minds.❤️
Keep your list short and sweet....
Whew😌.... Only 145 here not even close
I felt guilty not following them
I have a lot of interests.....
Music, AFL, NBA, Soccer, actors/actresses, Tennis. It is quite easy to follow that many people.
I legit had to look and see how many people I am following. 😂😂
I only have 85 coz im to lazy to do the whole liking thing and acting like i care... now im going back to hide in my pillow fort
Lemmings.
Whats an acceptable number?
It's fun?
I ain't got no type
"Oo, piece of candy, oo piece of candy... etc. same thing."
I like to mae people happy. 😃Getting a new follower makes you happy. 😜 Anna, will you make me happy and follow back 😉😃😃
I didn't even realize ... I just click Follow when I see cool people 😊 #YoureWelcome
NO TIME CONSTANTLY SCROLLING COME BACK LATER
i follow a lot of fan accounts for my fandoms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You've inspired me to unfollow some accounts today.
I follow just over 1k but I use twitter as news feed for politics and professional interests (tech & design.) Not as many people as sources.
I hope to avoid the social media echo chamber by accessing diverse opinions.
I also follow celebs I have a crush on.
😘
Lotsa news out there.
Almost every person who responded is verified...
I only follow 137 and look to cull the list regularly. Otherwise my timeline is not manageable.
they areeee a fan of yours that I neeed to follow💕💖 bcoozzz we love youu.
Followers 997 and 765 are my favorites. I'm scared of follower 127 though. FREEEEEEEEAK!
I use Tweetdeck/lists for my actual reading, so I can follow back with impunity.
Diversity of epistemologies. Diversity of lives being lived. Some truly beautiful and gifted people out there.
My Timeline is LIT 24/7/365, @AnnaKendrick47.
Also: Timing Is Everything, TweetBot, I read while I drive, & I’m lone
Hey.
People who follow over 1,000 people on twitter.
Explain yourselves.
Basically my theory: Stimulate me intellectually.
All in the palms of my hands baby!
#FollowFriday
You are too cute and talented not to follow, although 1000 is a bit much though.
PPL that follow 1000+ celebrities/ ppl: "I can unfollow you if you want"
Anna, you insufferable snob. #toocool
I just think you are funny! that's why I follow you....
I follow twelve people Anna Kendrick, lucky you😜
I follow 3..
am I wierdly wierd ? Like more than what I thought ?! 😱
why you gotta be so judgy, man?!
We're trying to get a bunch of followers ourselves to increase our chances of world domination!!! Duh
923, I'm safe from explanation. #Whew
I would follow you, but then I’d be following 669 people and that dangerously close to 1000. Have a nice day.
They probably just mute everyone 😂
I only follow 14 people
I keep up with current events through twitter jen!
But how do you read it all?! Speed read? Skim? I have to read my entire TL chronologically.
Oh I am a skimmer, plus I follow a lot of middle east analysts who are off cycle to us haha
You read your entire timeline 😅?
Yes...I start where I left off reading.
No leadership qualities to speak of.
*cracks knuckles*
Mine's just over a hundred 😂😂
I needed to fit you in somewhere after cat memes and soccer scores.
There is explanation, I have no life, lmao
I know many celebrity's that follow 3-4000 people, a lot of which are fans to show support and love for them.
Sigh. I guess Im easy then! Oh well. I like, even love many, many accounts but theres a special platinum level love I have for just a few
That's a thousand people who seem interesting on Twitter. Not sure IRL
I can't
Boredom... or possibly an armadillo
Not to you Anna Kendrick, not to you....
shame.
I enjoy a lot of things, and a lot those things involve people that cover those things, and I enjoy people in general.
I only follow nearly 200 myself, but 75% of them don't tweet often anymore. If they were all active even those few would be too much.
Im at 603. #safe 😑
Are you saying we're only supposed to follow you and maybe the bellas?
What is there to explain? Clearly there are more than 1,000 intelligent, valuable voices on Twitter.
They just do it so people follow them in return (or at least that's the idea) 🙄
You should ask @DonnieWahlberg. He seems to keep up with all of those he follows. He does love us all too. ❤️
Following such a small amount of people makes you look like a self absorbed asshole that can't find anything interesting in other people
Did anyone else see only the "Hey" part of this tweet and thought for a second that she was talking to you specifically.hah
We've got issues, okay?
a lot of them are celebs? or tv shows? who i follow for reasons....that i cant explain at the moment....
Don't even know 1000 ppl famous or non lol
hey at least my timeline isnt dead
Those are the people who don't tweet, but read tweets. Or, hope to get a follow for a follow. Lol.
More voices we listen too the more we understand - something sub 100 followers @realDonaldTrump might consider
Business, personal and a lot of crushes 😉
Mute. Cat pics. The usual.
Gotta follow something.
I'm a pro bowler, I love you and I've seen Pitch Perfect 71 times; can I get a follow? #worthashot #antitrump #pitchperfect3 #hashtag
None of my friends have twitter so I like to look at the chaos of other peoples lives
I surf, don’t read everything. It’s like wading in a river.
I am at 500 something. I just came for the boobs
Why is 999 okay but 1,000 not?
Explain yourself.
I used to be one of those people. I have no explanation for my past behavior. I apologize.
Those people: WE ARE INFLUENCERS.
SO. TRUE. #Twitter is either a river, or a glass of water. We’re on team “glass of water”. jasondunn.com/twitter-river-… 👍
Is Twitter a River or a Glass of Water? Depends On Who You Ask
Twitter, like all social networks, doesn’t come with a rulebook. Sure, there are technical limitations to what you can and can’t do with it, but just like all flexible communication tec…

addiction #helpme
I whored my follow for follows... I feel shame. I truly do.
Porn. Mainly check Twitter for porn.
💟💟Get free webcam show! 18+ 💟💟 My nickname lumbrucdajum1991 ↪↪↪ goo.gl/sa5TU2
I follow anyone who does a giveaway basically. #freestuff
private lists are the only way to stay sane
I don't even have a 100.. no one cares what I have to say, even if it can be the funniest thing you read!
Obviously they need to know what's up.
You crack me up!!! LoL
If and when you follow me!
I like to fight people online from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life
Sweet jesus 6k+ though
Keeps things fresh. Almost always something interesting to see. If it's important and I miss it, I'll see it on reddit/other sites.
It just happens okay?! Actually idk how it happened, send help please.
It's all that "followback crap" and when you don't follow them back, they unfollow you.
They probably won't see this because it's impossible to follow anything if you follow +1000
Phew just checked! 962 🤗😂😓#nothingtoseehere
I follow 1k people 300 follows me lol
I'm a Twitter hussy
THANK YOU! I follow 160 (with ~1/4 muted) and that's all I can handle. I'm a Twitter loser, obvs
I barely follow 6! 1000 or more?!? Wha?!?
SORRY 😅
explain yourself ma'am
If my twitter is correct, I follow 999 exactly lol.
haha, mannn i just can't do it. too much on the TL at that point. once was following 800+. cut that down to 200. now at whatever i'm at.
I continuously try to bring mine down also. I was once at 2000 and I couldn't stand it! It's just so much scrolling in one sitting lol.
gotta use lists imo
Wow...you're probably the only one besides myself that uses lists. You have to be an OG twitter user lmao.
What does list do? I only use twitter for the timely chats.
I follow Chicago sports teams/Athletes, volleyball players I've photographed, politics, news, weather, & people I know. Over 15K numbers on☎
I follow 140. No need for this social media at times. Follow me if you have the balls! LOL!
They would answer but your post probably got lost among the other 999 updates they got
I'm not playing games here Anna would you rather be 4 foot or 8 foot
They're not from Maine, like us.
We're just lazy.
Easier to follow someone new than to remember to unfollow someone who left quietly
😂😂 love it! 😂😂
yeah seriously like why.
ill follow you over 1000 times😁
People are interesting. I don't try to read everything. I keep lists.
I don't
Too many interesting people on Twitter
I only follow you on Twitter which is probably weirder.
Ummmm.....
Most of them don't Tweet much, and I'm too lazy to delete them.
f**k that, I don't even know/like 1000 people 👍
Dancing with the Stars has a big cast.
, boredom plain and simple.
I dunno. I just do.
Easy, if i just followed you only it would look rather weird and creepy :)-
I follow 115, including you! (It's an elite club)
Whaaaaat?! I didn't think that was even possible. Should be worried that I only have 1!? Eeeeeeeeeeee!
Memes
and those who follow over 289 people please do to. 😆 I kiiidddd..
I've wanted an answer for this for a long time.
I'm not that popular yet
Me: *checks Twitter following* Whew 😅
Robots?
- Lists.
I follow less than 200 people and my timeline is too hard to follow. 1000 would make my head go:
Attention whores
I like an active feed with lots of perspective and voices! Plus it's the internet, lots of random dumb yet funny stuff.
No thanks.
I'm still trying to unfollow people twitter recommended.
I follow 556, and that often seems like too many.
Accidentally
It's so people can get verified.
I like that TL to move along at a good little clip. You can keep up w lots of folks if you organize follows into lists/tweetdeck columns
Because I like to have twitter accounts to read that make me feel better about myself #cantbetamed
Lists! Lots of lists!
Friends family people they think are cool it's not that hard
Wow, I'm halfway there. I'll try to not follow any more.
It's tough, though, having so many diverse interests (politics/movies/music/tech)
I have too many things and people that I like!
I follow 12 people on a good week
Hey. People who don't follow me on twitter
Explain yourself
Because you are truly amazing and I wish nothing but the best for you...
they're probably Canadian and feel it would be rude not to follow back
Zero impulse control
Only reason I have 1,000k on twitter is because one time I thought @AnnaKendrick47 was on my plane- and I'm STILL getting notifications FML
I'm lonely so... Yeah.
Content is good?
Lists. Reciprocity.
Not me. Can't think of 1000 ppl I'd want to follow!
They want followers.
I don't have any friends. :(
There are more than 1,000 funny or interesting people on the website
probably would make my phone implode then explode
Totally guilty of this and all I can say is that I'm a very interested person...
Because I'm a reality show junkie and follow way to many former competitors?!?
I get my news from here
Don't be jealous.
based on the theories of infinite parallel universes, somewhere out there we are a couple... let's make it this universe?
ugh! I can barely handle 100 & most of those are on mute.
Hey, I only follow 152. I'm good.
are there really less than 300 people/outlets you'd like to hear from?
True that
ADHD 🤣🤣
I can barely keep up with the few I have!
I need more than my own circle to keep me entertained. Other people like yourself, bring much more humour too. #notanaccountant
A lot of free time on their hands?
Attention
You are so annoying
66follows
I follow them so you don't have to Anna.
The irony is that the person I know who does this won't actually see my retweet of this because he follows 1200 people.
Grew up on Guinness Book Of World Records & dream of having my pic next to the swirly fingernails guy. "Following Most" is obtainable.
Porn stars and sports stuff
never seen that show
it's not sports/catfish/law and order/how to get away with murder so it isn't on my watch list
They're called nosey and have no life with no inter personal skills
Explain this
I don't know how people do that. I follow less than 100 and that still seems like too much.
I don't understand the concept of this tweet?
Basketball, politics, friends, social justice. That'll do it.
Someone's gotta read these tweets.
At 998, no explanation required
Follow me mom
LOL! To that. 😂
I've dreamt of this day
u made it
decades from now, bront's obituary will mention this whole saga foremost
Yeah gj dogrates but but twitter fix that harrassment policy tho
Yeah Anne, they're good people.
This is a blessing.
But a part of me wishes there was a typo to an "Anna" like name
She hasn't rated you 13/10.
...... yet.
😂they're all good people/dogs. Now about the cats...
They're good dreams, WRD
First @GordonRamsay now twitter???
YAS BOY
THEYRE GOOD BRONTS, DOG!
I feel as though some legendary prophecy has just been fulfilled.
We made it
This is h*ckin wonderful!
also look at tHIS
"They're good people Abba"
FTFY
what a day to be alive!
does this mean if I swear at you I get my account locked
If this world were just ...
Wow Matt 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
shut down twitter. it's reached its apex. it's only downhill from here.
I'm so pleased I was here when this happened <3 <3 you deserve every bit of glory
bless up
11/10, one point off because they really missed the chance to call her Anne. Otherwise it's a good reference, Twotter
They really are good people, Arne.
No, we are not.
People who have a MILLION followers and follow twelve
EXPLAIN YOURSELVES.
I don't have time to spend hours going through everybody's tweets and some people I don't have anything in common with. It's not rudeness.
I have no idea how this happened. It's like cats.
what happened?
shit i don't get it why so many people rt'd WeRateDogs reply and what did even he mean 😐
Holy shit
Omg if you had just said "they're good people, Anne"
so close
Thus did Twitter learn the importance of an edit button.
They're good people Annie
The ones that need explaining are those followed by millions. How do you swing that?!
At 2000 you get a prize, right?
IT'S ALIVE!!!!
This is the nexus of my universe. We are now standing at the intersection of 1st and 1st.
O MAH GERDD
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Hey @Twitter how bout you fix your dumbass mistake and make the dark theme jet black. Cuz we all got AMOLED screens over here
(Possibly sensitive)
Hahahahahaha.. 🤣🤣😂😂
Its in my Bio
And following 1776 people is fine.
What about people that have <1000 followers but DONT follow them back?
Explain yourselfs
Whoa twitter responded to you.
They're good people Áine
ffs 😂😂😂
We need a edit button
omg lmao 😂😂
Still better than the people on @YouTube who subscribe to 1000 channels.
(No comment)
You know you are powerful when even Twitter itself responds to your tweet #drunkwithpower
Iconic
(No comment)
(No comment)
But you follow 162
Hey good person on Twitter.. we really need that Edit button. Christmas gift may be? Be our Santa. 😇
I want to learn new things and see another point of view on a subject.
(No comment)
please marry me...
Following the bands that I work with all year.
When ppl tweet me that they're glad I followed them b/c then they discovered my music & they connect to it then I know it's worth it.
ADD is a sumbitch.
Journalist. Cover huge range of stuff. My feed is a big source of story ideas and potential interviews.
I like people. Either I know them or they entertain me.
10 years of following interesting people adds up. (I do purposely try to stay under 1,000...though that number used to be 500.)
reminded me of your tweet lol
Phew, just made the cut. I am still normal.
Oops. 🙈😐
At least they didn't mute you
Well. I don't. You don't. How about you whack up your following number by one, by following me.
man, Hollywood has a lotta frigin hot Anna's! Of course you're at the top of the list, miss Kendrick!❤
like those of us who made the mistake of following @POTUS
I'm too lazy to unfollow, usually.
I couldn't bring myself to unfollow you...And all the other casual encounters.
I am too lazy to clean up my follows. I think you may have inspired me.
One word : lists.
Most of them are muted.
Not following you now, ever. Bye!
topical lists and interests...
Remember that everyone single person they follow is unique, just like everyone else.
Too many interests and also business connections. I know, way too cray.
Pffff i just follow you + a bunch of other nuts
shoot I had it backwards, I thought I was supposed to follow as many as i can so my twitter feed is interesting.
we like to have fun
As soon as you explain Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. You get behind on your mortgage?
Either bots, or have WAY too much free time. Possible DMV Employees.
I forgot I was following them
It just happens okay...
you can see different angles of the world all at once.
also the book was 🔥
Good point... I wanted to follow people back :)
Not everyone tweets all the time, and I like lots of differing POV, and don't judge me
I read a lot!
Only 112 and my timeline is busy!
Bots, getting hacked, friends and family, A WHOOOOOLE lot of it is art.
I only follow 200 people and I understand this rationale.
I love too many people. 💜
Marry Me x
I know right If I did that I wouldn't be able to see everything you say.
I like #FakeWesteros parody accounts, and I will not apologize for it (or for following like-minded bleeding heart libs). #tothineownself
I like to return the favor and you can't have too many friends😬you should follow me I'm fun!!
I like to hear many different opinions!
That includes you so 💆🏻
987. I'm in the clear.
33% comedy 33% politics 33% peers who get upset if you don't follow them
They live for lists.
she throwing some shade at you?
I use a (private) curated list to only view some and ensure it’s in chronological order.
I actually have lists. Fame, humor, internet, politics, religion, etc. So i dont follow many people but when i wanna laff i kno where to go
My panel of experts.
1. Friends
2. Funny people
3. Smart people
4. Honest people
5. Pictures of animals doing odd things
I have ADD...
Well, I like to be slutty on Twitter is all. Who are you to judge, Dickless...
More data
Obsessive monitoring of the trump administration. Very healthy!
Get this: Twitter does some BS throttling. No matter how many people I follow, Twitter doesn't allow enough content through.
well anna, sometimes when you don't have a brand to manage, you find yourself taking an interest in what other people have to say
Too lazy to prune the dead branches?
Explain me??..... So when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, they smang it swim game strong 💪I won the race
Just simply connecting w/other people here on Twitter.
Each person has a different approach and strategy when they use Twitter.
343 yay🎉🎉🎊🎉🍾
There bots... Or never read there twittet fees
I follow well over a 1000, and am ignoring 100's and 100's all of the time... anyway, when you follow news like I do, 1000 sources is good.
How do you even keep up with that kind of feed!?!?! Mind blown.
No I don't want to lol
finally!
I live in the edge lol never crossing 4 digit follow
Someone traded Westbrook for you.
I am with @jack 2k+
following new people to fix the old people I followed
Look at Jack flirting with Anna Kendrick. Shameless.
We love this service, Jack! It comes from ❤️, not hate.
why do you hate us? twitter was so flexible before yesterday.
The shift away from egg profile photos: 👍
I miss the eggs, but have no beef with the new replies. (I knew you were aching for my views, so...)
The eggs were cute.
I also liked your old profile picture better, Jack.
I need you to understand that for some of us it really does come from hate.
Where do you put all the feedback related to an 'Edit Tweet' option? The garbage?
Jack you suck and are a pathetic individual. Why don't you go s @deray d? Cucks united
Wait. The whole "start with a period" thing. That works still, or does not work? #ThanksJack
(Hi, @AnnaKendrick47—you're awesome, btw!)
Yesssss. Now, please address issues w/ the changes rather than telling people to break threads in discussions:
If you want all of your followers to see your reply, we recommend you Retweet or Quote Tweet it:
About conversations on Twitter
Conversations are happening all the time on Twitter—and it all starts with just one reply to a Tweet. Popular conversations are easy to find and join. We show you the most interestin
support.twitter.com
It's v difficult, when trying to use Twitter for news, to have tweets accidentally become not public-facing due to new format.
When I'm doing a thread on litigation on Trump's travel EO, and place an @ username in one tweet, and it then gets "hidden" in the next ...
It happened earlier tonight, in this thread, when I put @neal_katyal's name in one tweet, it carried over to the next. I deleted and re-did.
JUST IN: DOJ requests expedited review of Hawaii v. Trump at 9th Circuit, w/ proposed schedule agreed to by Hawaii. documentcloud.org/documents/3533…
If I hadn't fixed it, that news tweet only would have gone to followers of ~both~ Neal and me.
Know I'm in over my head here, but is that Y I can sometimes c a tweet but can't c what it's replying to?
Also impossible now 2 chose who you're directly addressing w/ multiple ppl-before I cld insert my text btween the usernames 2 differentiate
Hey Jack, could you do something about all the Nazis?
Jack
we all love Twitter
please listen to your users, who hate Nazis and love @-replies
Hey while we’re feedbacking, can us normal real humans (who can’t id our employers) get verified please?
Breathe Chris... also who will miss punctuation on twitter more than us?
Jack and I have moved forward and engaged in productive discussion. 🙌
*days later*
Chris: JACK A HOT DOG IS A SANDWICH WHY ARE YOU SO WRONNNNG
Twitter needs to translate to a bigger screen/bigger medium and widen the audience both literally and figuratively
chilling under 400 here
What's the number supposed to be?
404..wait...that's @Yahoo. Never mind.
He probably meant 1,400
420. Google has all the answers you need
I was trying to be sarcastically stupid.
Sorry ... too much wine to read sarcasm. I'm better at this when I'm sober 🍷
No sweat...sarcasm rarely plays well on @Twitter since I don't know any of you in real life. Have a glass on me.
I prob wouldn't have even caught it in person. I have no business being on here in my state but am addicted to #dateline. Here's to Dr Rob 🍷
Cheers...I'm bored & @DatelineNBC catches my attention every time I don't find things to do on Friday nights. What a life.
seriously, can we get that in the pipeline please ? thanks @jack
Yeah let's not. Would be horrible, with people going back and changing their tweets (even if it shows history of edits)
They could do a 30-minute time limit -- long enough to fix typos, too short for much flaming. And screencaps are forever.
Not a bad idea. I'd reduce it to 5 mins. Typos are a part of Twitter!
It'll be here by July 4th, or bust.
Where the twitter stories 👀👀
Of all apps, twitter is the only one I wish had stories. It's the only place where I get insight into people I want to know vs. know.
thank god
THANK YOU.
Thank you 🙌🏼
Bless you, Jack
Uff thank you
We don't need that nor did we need the eggs gone
thanks..it is the only place i can see your mind not your face 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU.
Thank you.
Long live jack .. long live jack
GOOD MAN👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Post a tweet storm or moment you already can tell amazing stories here (at scale!) way better than any other platform.
Gotta put a sticker on that tweet
ty sir
So Jack,you don't find the new reply feature annoying? Be honest.
lmaoooo @jack is the only one that likes it. replies weren’t broken until jack “fixed” them.
Bring favorites back immediately
Like works identically to favorite. It's literally just a label/icon change.
It's a trash change Jon.
It's no change
Points for being honest. Can we get rid of the nazis and racists next?
And Nazi would be anyone that disagrees with your enlightened world view?
focus on @ names in the text is just as important. 140 is fine, but keep the @ names. twitter is built around them. make it better.
love the focus on text
but look at that convo Jack. This thread is a mess. I love text but man...
thank you. we are counting on you and Twitter. It is a public good.
But do people who build and test it aka Dev and QA - actually use it themselves? That helps you know?
Just a little growing pains. No whales in sight, so we are all good. ;)
bro fix your shitty website, get rid of the quality filter
How about actually showing us the convo? And not hiding it?
Seriously...
A
Freaking
Edit
Button
Old Reply Button gave me the list of people to cite when replying outside of Twitter: original and retweeter. Now I must transcribe by hand.
It's not just the taps to remove people. having the @ usernames in the tweet made it clearer that it was a reply. Need similar prominence
need to be able to put words BEFORE the leading @ name again too. twitter used to be so flexible and easy to use.
Not following your beef. You made suggestions for improvements. There wasn't any contract stating you were owed anything. What's up?
If you have the natural talent to see opportunities and improvements where others do not, use that to drive your ambitions in a better way.
The spite and negativity over what you perceive as an injustice needs to be called out. Hoping you can move on and do greater things.
Perhaps consider a career in UI development. Pays well and could take advantage of your intuitive and clairvoyant skillset.
If you're giving them ideas for free I think that's your own fault
look forward to the update then. Definitely a step in the right direction.
until you try using it and realize it’s garbage
I'm using it. It's an improvement.
you must not be good @ twitter. the ONLY improvement is that we get the full 140. everything else is a step back. @jack
How can one be bad at Twitter? It's not rocket science.
have you read this article? —> bit.ly/2nQ1lwT
you’ll see what i mean. new @ replies simply don’t work.
The New Twitter @-Replies Are Giving Me an Ulcer
Why does Twitter hate itself so much?
motherboard.vice.com
I disagree with that article. Maybe you guys are the ones that are bad @ Twitter?
or maybe you just didn’t know how to do all of those things? the things that allowed twitter to be great.
Funny how everyone under this tweet up to here are verified tweep... *Sigh*
the streak continued after you, until it didn't
trust me, that’s what you want it to look like. that’s not clutter!
Sometimes it's cool to test things before you release them
Unverify (or just ban) @realDonaldTrump so we can all have a laugh
Please make live streaming the center piece of your moment tabs!
can you not just change the count and keep the display of the @ the same?
I guess I've been on beta release for a while but people will eventually come around. Just takes some getting used to. Better in long-run
Lists, I heard, are valuable. But, like @LinkedIn, a valuable feature wasn't introduced or promoted correctly. Promote new features
I wish Zuke @facebook have conversation like this.
Can you please un-suspend @polNewsNetwork1 ? We miss him. Please look into it. Thank you.
People focus too much on the negative :)
I did like the inclusion of the handle. Kind of like starting a postcard with "Dear ____". Felt more personal.
threaded replies por favor
oh hey farhad, thanks for the reply!
Wait you really can't just look above the text box to see who you're replying to? Who are you, @MikeIsaac?
I still @ reply like it's 2016. Hopefully my victims don't get double notified. I'm annoying enough one reply at a time.
ability to order usernames also subtly useful, for example could put most obscure first to avoid bombarding followers when in convo.
Now I'm used to it, I much prefer it. Seeing old, cluttered screenshots with 5 or 6 handles in every tweet, I'm not sure I could go back.
So will you bring threading back? Honestly threading was sooooo awesome on here.
It's a better look. I like it.
Now it is not clear if a tweet is a reply or just a weird post out of any context.
thanks for listening to everyone, @jack
Very much appreciated.
Jack, you can tinker forever, but this sort of behavior has nothing to do with solving $TWTR's more pressing problems.
Twitter is great because of text. Additional structure makes the flavor worse...
Just make sure that @ doesn't count in 140 and roll back to the previous way of replying
I can't remove the original author of the tweet.
Shareholders will just sit here and wait patiently, Jacko. But at least I'm seeing SOMEthing
it's terrible. Everything about it is bad.
I'm just not sure if I see the utlility of being able to string 50 people into a convo with no easy way out. Huge spam ramifications.
thank god for that. No one needs to be tapping multiple times!
Can the reply field be another text box, instead of going to another view. You are make in me jump around. #dullboy
The @ isn't clutter, it's your DNA. Embrace it.
Edit option! We're begging you. Please.
Cheers. No matter how much people love to hate Twitter, always helps to see y'all are listening.
You could give us however many characters you wanted without removing @ s. Same as you did for removing picture URLs. Give us all a break.
The full 140 goes so hard. #PreciateYa
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU 💓🦄🦄💓
may be you should put a "remove" option that appears when you hover over a @username when you're trying to reply?
Edit option please please please!!!
Hey everyone.
Why not just make it unlimited text on everything?
But what's the difference? Except that Twitter would keep traffic and add functionality? What's the reason for limiting it?
I mean let @StephenKing write his next novel here. What difference would it make? What you experience in the stream could still be 140
And $FB has a 400B Market Cap.
BUT SIR CAN WE HAVE OUR FAVORITES IN THE ORDER WE FAVORITED THEM IN PLEASSSEEEE
Will you bring skeuomorphism back as was foretold?
Be honest, Jack. Isn't the new style of replying very annoying? Again, be honest.
sir jack, pls look at my feed. I provided many thoughts abt $twtr and 3 of them have been used...GoPro/periscope, periscope icon+editB
You've been ignoring our edit button requests for years, @jack, & your stock price tanked. Imagine that.
Are we really pretending the lack of an edit button had anything to do with the stock tanking?
We all know Twitter stock failed based on how it didn't become the next Facebook.
I'm pinning that, @jack.
Jack, search function within DM threads would be totally sweet.
bring back our egg avatar
You really are the silent majority
not so silent 😒
eggs in black 😃
OH MY GOD 420 BLAZE IT WITH ME JACK
I'm down with floating head avis
how do you have so many followers
He's the founder of Twitter. Account zero.
(Possibly sensitive)
Oh, please no edit option. @Twitter is the last frontier keeping people honest ... and humble. Typos are the great equalizers of us all.
Agree, Lisa ... I think the edit button may bring more challenges/chaos/issues than it solves.
I think an edit button for 20 seconds post posting. I will notice typo after I post and repost. Happens often. Agree Lisa about honesty.
Jack is hammered
oh come on @jack you are so mean
we've been asking that question for years.. we'll just keep dying with our typo's
What the...you're the freaking CEO of twitter.
Haha.. looking for edit.. now its on the records.. ;)
Please God no edit button. Deleting and retyping 140 characters if need be is not difficult.
It's the same same
You're aware of the edit button?! Thank lord.
We need that edit button.
But for real doe
Search on Facebook!
An edit button that's available for like two minutes
Jack don't do this to me.
We've been saying that for like 10 years now.
Foreshadowing?
Trolliest thing I've seen all week.
Seriously ffs
Where twitter finance?
Jack Serie A calcio live streamed in twitter would be fantastic! You mom I think would agree! Forza Italia!!
Twitter should literally not release anything else until they say "You can now edit tweets" or "We've figured out how to fight nazis." @jack
JACK!!! Oh that's good!
When your name is your Twitter username... 👏🏻 Yes. It counts even if it's an unusual one, like @ishe 💖
was @weeddude replying to @AnnaKendrick47 too? or just @jack? the world may never know, since jack took @ names away!!!
I follow 26k and I am followed by 26k. That is the way I have grown on Twitter. I create Lists for topics and sometimes I like to browse TL.
so when Twitter 'kills' the lists you'll say "Houston we have problem"?
Ayyyyy I get it
is probably confused now
it's ratio that matters, btw
that dude looking for cyberhookers is about to have his mentions explode
This is an awesome tweet.
dude weed lmao
Goddamn, seeing replies like this retweeted is so confusing now without the @'s.
... you follow more than 2k...
I see what you did there.
400?! That's for losers. Only *checks whatever @AnnaKendrick47 has* 300 or under is cool.
I think most of the 1k plus following users aren't big fans of the new reply interface
Not been here quite as long as Jack, but when one enjoys diverse perspectives, the follows pile up.
And i want you to follow me.. pls
TEAR DOWN THE SCOREBOARDS!
Take the follower count down. This is social media, not sports.
Watch Twitter "elite"😭
@jack @AnnaKendrick47
This is proper leadership. Love it!
Same. Took years to build!
How goes it banning people with different political opinions?
That's an understatement!! 😜
I like people 😂
I like people. Am I following you? Oh, I am, 'I Must Like You'
for some reason
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Courtesy followback. Mute as needed.
Big thunder outside dog is terrified she hates thunde&lightening little dog could care less
this reads like a clue in an Escape Room
there's lots of cool people out there 😜
It's not the same as having 1,000 "friends" on Facebook.
I can only see my full list of "following" on desktop & mostly use Twitter w my phone. Not all are active tweeters & "turn off retweets".
i'm 1/4 of the way there
Don't judge. ;)
I like people... There, explained. 😐
The more important question is why aren't you following ME?
I don't delete my emails either.
Seriously? I like learning.
I only followed you weirdo.
No way I could "follow" 1000 people, not unless there was a fire and they were running from it.
Because I want to see new updates of my favorite peoples
Not that I feel it's necessary to explain to you but I like hearing the news & views of different people who are with me in opposition. Why?
Multiple interests. Plus FOMO.
Easy. Follow journos & politicians and create twitterlists.
Nothing better to do with their lives?
Twitter is hard for me.
I acknowledge people who make the effort to follow me
I secretly have a list of like 400 people that I actually read.
Most likely they're living bookmarks!🤣
Yeah. How do you keep up with a thousand tweets minimum a day?!
Utter boredom. Or undertaking a quest to find the wittiest tweet. Either way, the result is the same.
My name is Susan and I am a Twitter hoarder!
I have a gambling problem. And a porn solution.
Been here a long time - have other ways of filtering feeds - try to cull and find everyone too interesting! And then after 1000 u keep going
Lol don't worry you don't have to worry about me 😅😇😁
It's my fan base :) I love interacting with my fans
No lifers... 😕
People and what I learn from them are fascinating!
They want more followers. You know the follow for follow method. It's unhealthy
Hahaha yeah 😂😂😂
Right? I assume those people also drink from fire hoses.
NEVER TRY TO READ EVERY TWEET. NOT DRINKING, JUST GOING FOR A SWIM.
AND WHEN GOING FOR A SWIM, YOURE NOT TRYIN TO TOUCH EVERY DROP OF WATER.
I read a lot.
We love people :)
Just unfollowed you, so I am slower to get there
Checking how many people I follow...
To much cool people around.
I have a problem.
Please follow me. 😍😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I guess they're just not very good listeners. Lol
Left/weird twitter is a large group
Stalker level: Pro
Lmao... Classic! 👍
I am trying to follow back as many ppl as I can. Celebrities don't need to do that but many of us do. Lots of them don't tweet much.
Lots of reasons. Some went to the trouble to follow me when I had a locked account so keep following out of loyalty.
Boredom.....?
(No comment)
I don't know who to unfollow.
I like people
What they say now is more important than knowing everything they say.
We're bored. 😉
Sorry, I will follow you also.
Well, cause, it's just a snapshot. I don't need to see everything everyone writes every day. Also, following is a sign of support for PLN
you were my 1001st, Anna.
overcompensation.
498. I owe you nothing.
knowledge
We need entertainment when we've already watched everything interesting on YouTube.
Common people who make celebs feel great about them having millions of followers
How would you keep track of that many?
i'd argue the same for ppl over 100.
How are you.... what's up for the weekend?
Haha. I follow 10 people. 10. 1000? I can't even.
The alcohol is a contributing factor in that
I pretty much have 0 of either. =\
Knowledge is power. We like knowledge, and power is ok too.
Damn! I don't qualify!! I'm pickier than a bride's maids Mom at a wedding!!
I want to see 1000 tweets when trump is impeached #twitterparty
I have alot more free time than I had anticipated!
i suddenly check my profile and see how many i followed lol good thing its not much lol
A better question might be why would 6.2 million people follow someone.
Curiosity
I do my best to keep it under 200
A lot of them don't tweet much or at all. I try to limit it at 2k
What if I just😀 follow you 1000 times, @AnnaKendrick47 ?
How can you not? People are so damn interesting. And they tell you important things, like to open Google Maps on your phone.
I lost track. My bad
What's a good number???
If you are following Patton Oswalt...you need to space things out a little. 😉
not all of us can have 6.2 million followers from cinematic fame Anna
Got hacked
How do they have time for all that
We find others beside ourselves interesting? I find it quite odd that you don't.
If you have time to meaningfully take an interest in over 1000 ppl in your feed, good luck to you. Your reply is disingenuous.
😂😂😂😂😂Really?? LOL
... checks own twitter bio to count and agrees :)
Um, I like to be in the know & it's fun to follow back?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I need the distraction. I have trouble focu... Brb
I don't know how this happened to me
Hmmm....I follow 1400+ *accounts*, but ~60% are groups/organizations, not individuals.
Because you're all so prett... ooohhhh look! A squirrel! I WANT TO FOLLOW IT!
I've lost complete control and now don't care anymore. Also, following a bunch of artists is great!
So many cute dogs, so little time.
don't know the actual breakout but a lot of the accounts I follow don't tweet often. Figure my actives are under 1k.
