Twitter 'Can't Follow' Block Continues (Case History blog post)



 Is it months?  Possibly years, and still and I cannot get this error fixed.

The underlying problem? For ordinary Twitter accounts, you don't follow accounts which don't follow you back. So after a threshold (5000 accounts for Twitter), you will have a harder time getting follows. And the ratio is unadvertised, so you won't know the target you're aiming for.

Thanks for reaching out! We are sorry that you have been dealing with Following issues on your account. We’ve provided as much information as we can about this particular issue, but we know sometimes things on Twitter are frustrating, and we appreciate that you reached out and provided us with feedback.

We took a look, and we have more info for why your account can't Follow more accounts currently.

Your account has hit a Follow ratio limit. Once an account is following 5,000 accounts, additional follow attempts are limited by account-specific ratios. Gaining more Followers should allow you to Follow more people.

We hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
