What's the deal with announcing to people that you are unfollowing them? A sort of parting shot? You need them to know why?

I’m 100% sure nobody has had that intention in announcing their intention to unfollow me. It’s mostly an attempt to punish for what they consider a bad tweet afaict which puzzles me since nobody is paying anyone

oh you mean like "hey vgr i'm going to unfollow you now"??? damn, wild. i thought you were talk about tweets, "hey everyone, i'm going to be trimming my following list! nothing personal!"

Usually just a word, “unfollowed” in response to a specific tweet. Sometimes with a short, entirely unhelpful “cause”. Scare quotes since the stated cause is never the one I infer.

actually come to think of it, I think it's rooted in a fundamental belief that their attention is somehow really precious and sacred and we must all be craving it, and bemoaning its loss. see also:https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1071782198225727494 …

visa is working on his ebook @visakanvThis is quite an illuminating misread of the situation 1. It’s a straw man- it’s the Priyanka’s and Deepika’s that are coming to dominate, not the nerdy incels 2. There’s a buried assumption here that you need to impress whitebread Americans. You don’t https://twitter.com/pachkacigaret/status/1057086506358190080?s=21 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
Related to phenomenon of people weighing in on things with anodyne takes like they’re fulfilling a duty others are waiting on. Self-importance/validation mismatch.
