This post is about the weird shenanigans that\u00a0happen as you get close to each new thousand on Twitter. I’ve also wanted to find\u00a0a way to use\u00a0the word “Shenanigans” in a post for a while, YAY! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bored<\/p>\n

I have quite a number of\u00a0active accounts on Twitter. I manage accounts for clients plus I manage accounts of my own. With all<\/strong> these accounts I’ve noticed a pattern!<\/p>\n

As each Twitter account\u00a0gets close to each thousand the people who follow or the ratio of people who follow you back plummets. By this I mean that once each account gets to around 990 or 1,990 followers the ratio of people who follow you back drops like a brick.<\/p>\n

It’s almost as if, subconsciously, people don’t follow back so you can’t reach the next milestone! <gasp> \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have tools for getting new followers. I don’t use them often, just as and when I have the time. The follow back ratio can be as high as 60% but averages 35%. When an account gets very close to its next thousand that ratio plummets\u00a0to 5%.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing this I’m sat here watching the same thing happen again.<\/p>\n

I’ve been able to repeat this each time an account gets close. Once the account is safely above the thousand, say 1,020, the follow back ratio once again climbs back up.<\/p>\n

Strange shenanigans indeed!<\/p>\n
