Sorry Sports Fans, @ESPN Has Sent You Packing
Following @theonion’s still record 485,000 cull last month, ESPN (@espn) becomes the latest high-profile Twitter account to essentially start over and unfollow almost everybody in their network.
From 102,467 on May 12 to just 54 at the time of writing – a drop of 102,413 in about 48 hours. That’s a reduction of 99.94 per cent. It’s also a very smart move, as Twitter simply doesn’t work if you follow tens of thousands of people back.
