Am I on an autofollow list? Can I get taken off? 

I’m at 56k here in 10 months and 66k on twitter in 16 years. I think it’s gone up 20-25k in just 2-3 weeks. I wasn’t really looking before.

No way this isn’t mostly spambots and randos. I’m not *that* charismatic. I prefer my reach and klout slow-cooked.

It's based on how engaging you are (proof of work!) but happy to tweak

Yeah please tweak and perhaps provide opt out for those who don’t want such algorithmic boosting. I prefer content-based followers not engagement-based.

I think, per usual, you're a rare one. Most people want number go up. :)

Perhaps most, but us old tech souls want more signal, less noise. Higher quality experience per digital minute.

Like in the olden days.
