I Can't Follow People - Follow Limits

Probably many people who have not paid little attention to new rules this twitter. This article results from twitter.com copying. These new regulations regarding how many accounts that we can follow

=====================================================

Twitter has imposed reasonable limits to help prevent system strain and limit abuse. If you hit a technical limit, we’ll tell you by showing an error message in your browser when you try to perform an action. You can find information on our current Update, DM, and API Requests on this About Twitter Limits help page.

Technical Follow Limits

We do not limit the number of people who can follow you, but we have put limits on how many other accounts you can follow.

Every account can follow 2,000 users total. Once you’ve followed 2,000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow. This number is different for each account and is based on your ratio of followers to following; this ratio is not published. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter and everyone is subject to follow limits, even high profile and API accounts.

In addition to this account-based limit, every Twitter account is technically unable to follow more than 1,000 users per day. Please note that this is just a technical limit to prevent egregious abuse from spam accounts. Accounts are also prohibited from aggressively following other users. Our Follow Limits and Best Practices Page has more information on Twitter’s following rules.

But I'm whitelisted!

Some API administrators have whitelist status so that their applications can function without hitting system limits for direct messages and API requests per hour. Whitelisting does not increase the follow limits and all accounts are subject to the same follow limits and rules.

If I hit a limit, what should I do?

If you've reached the account-based follow limit (after you've followed 2,000 users), you’ll need to wait until you have more followers before you can follow additional users. Follow limits are system-wide and Support cannot remove or adjust your follow limits.

If you want to just follow a few more accounts and are unable because of your account-based follow limit, you can unfollow a few accounts you're currently following. Please note, however, that regularly following and unfollowing lots of accounts is a violation of the Twitter Rules and can result in account suspension.

Why does Twitter have follow limits at all? Do you think I’m a spammer?

Hitting a follow limit doesn't mean we think you’re a spammer. These limits help us improve site performance and reliability and help us make Twitter a nice place for everyone. We’ve included a more in-depth discussion of why we have follow limits on the Follow Limits and Best Practices Page.
