Same with me for months.
For every follower I get, X is removing .75 followers and it's been this way for weeks. What the hell is going on?

Hey @grok has there been any bot purges that’s been going on resulting in a loss of followers and if so, about how many accounts do they remove per action?
Replying to @catturd2
It's also happening to small accounts like mine. I never get the follower increases I should get based on new follows. Account suspensions can't explain it, and I remove every bot that follows me. Something weird is going on.

Most of my followers are women that want to sell me nudes pictures. They come and go. Maybe it is the same for you.

They are culling bots, so that could be it?

I’ve noticed my numbers going up and then down. I’m not monetized, but I’ve watched it move the last two weeks.

These days it’s a huge task to get any followers

Elon has a mole problem. X is being infiltrated by radical leftists?

It's strange, to be honest.
Replying to @catturd2
I notice if I do X on the computer rather than the phone it takes me out of Follow much more and puts me into For You.

X won’t let me ‘follow’ people back. Yesterday gave me a limit. If I pay for services, I should be able to follow who and as many as I please!!!!❤️🫡

Are y'all here for the pleasure of freely sharing your opinions with others or to be monetized??

It has happened to me for years. I literally am stuck under 4,000 for over 10 years now.
Replying to @catturd2
May also have something to do with their system. X "adds" followers arbitrarily. When people realize it, they unfollow them. Every day when I look at my timeline I see many posts from people I do not follow. When I look into it, I see X added them to say I am following them when I never added them. I then unfollow them. They should have never been in there in the first place. For my small account, X tags me as following about 2 new accounts each day. Now multiply that.

Quit glazing Trump so much and realize his loyalty is to us. Not the other way around.

I gained 10 and my numbers didn't change. It's like that lately. Very frustrating.
Replying to @catturd2
I have a small following and this is has been happening to me for a while now! X still has problems that need to be fixed!

Elon needs to fire everyone at X and start again. It feels like the company is being run by libs again. 💯

How can you possibly keep track of 75 when you have 3.9 million?

@grok Any idea why we are losing followers on X? Catturd is responding to this: For every follower I get, X is removing .75 followers and it's been this way for weeks. What the hell is going on?
