Well, I guess it's better if I say them spammers rather than followers! I noticed that hundreds of MLM guys first follow you and as many people do, you follow these MLM guys back. Then after a few days these MLM guys unfollow you. It is their tactic to show how successful they are since they have more number of followers than the the number of people they follow!!

Many Twitter users have a split personality but I tend to like people who stay with talking about business. Thanks for the comment - much appreciated!

You have every right to unfollow people for any of the reasons listed above, but some folks are on Twitter for the sole purpose of reading that minutia and hearing about their friend's cat. Not everyone on Twitter is a social media marketer or wants to read Mashable articles all day. I totally agree that automated tweets are insufferable and deserve an instant unfollow.
