So how do people follow other people on twitter?

i got some questions:
Do they really hit that follow button? or is there a bot or something?
Do they follow people to imply the people they follow to follow them back?
Do you get random follows from people that have very diverse interests from you?

I'm just new on twitter and it feels weird being followed by some randoms

Being a fan account for a long time and being recognized by your fan base?

Follow me (shameless promo) @wesleywalrus

n

I follow you but you don't follow back

I've always wondered this.
It seems like twinks have a ton of Twitter/Instagram followers and they only follow back a portion of the amount following them and I'm a lil' bit jealous ngl

wut?

Follow me @jonnyharlot to find out

I don't know I have 900. But I follow 700

@Lyfe_Rhymes

nnn no one is answering

whenever your fan base is trending things, just help trend and tweet other fan accounts.

follow a bunch of fan accounts, etc

Follow lots of people and a fraction of them will follow you back

I followed Poor Britney, and then that's how I met new people. Then I was introduced to other people and met a slew of Twitter users. Most of them happened to have been Britney fans. Then I deleted almost everyone because they bored me/drama, going from around 800 followers and followees to exactly 37 followers and 37 followees (everyone who I follow follows me back, close group...and Britney).

Most of them I've been following for over four years now and have turned to actual friendships and then some people I know in real life. I don't let random people follow me. My profile is private.

Not sure. Lady Gaga follows me and she has since like 2011

maybe i should edit the title

i mean how about those other random people following you?
like some indie band with hot members followed me and i have got nothing to do with their thing

yeah most of my followers come from the fanbases im a part of, and they can find you through mutual friends or by participating in trends. or when celebs follow/tweet you, some of their fans will see it and follow you (i gained literally 100 or so followers when Austin followed me and lots when Ariana tweeted)

but yeah sometimes super random people follow me who i have nothing in common with and i have no idea how they even found me
i keep my following list to around 300 because i like to actually read my timeline, and when you follow more than that it gets messy. i kinda feel bad for not following everyone back but oh well. if you ask me for a follow back i usually will

I got follows through tweeting about Xtina and from there on it snowballed as I was more active in the fanbase. People that share common interests with you will follow and with time you'll gain follows through mutuals and what you tweet about. Don't expect gaining them if you don't follow back and your tweets aren't good, though. Keep it interesting.

no idea.

after being on for a few years....they find you through retweets and other followers....

follow me link is in my sig Its hard to get followers mine are normally just company trying to recover.

fan bases indeed most of mine are navy, black stars or south park tweeters and just randoms.
