Conspiracy Theory Of The Day: @Twitter Is Intentionally Making Me Follow People I Don't Like

I wrote about this problem a couple of weeks ago – there’s a real issue on Twitter right now with finding out that you’re suddenly following people you either long unfollowed or that you’ve never followed.

It’s getting infuriating. Tonight, I scrolled through my timeline and found several users on each page that I didn’t recognise and I know that I’d never followed.

Worse, when you try to remove them, it doesn’t ‘take’ straight away. You have to keep clicking on the ‘remove’ button, literally five or more times, until eventually you’ll get the blessed, “You are no longer following…” message.
