- Your picture is the Twitter egg. If you can't even be bothered (or are so technically inept) that you haven't posted a picture, I can't be bother to follow you.
- You are almost or are actually naked in your avatar.
- You have not posted anything. This is a give & take relationship.
- You have less than 10 followers. I know this is not a popularity poll (okay, it is for some people), so I will make the exception if you are a) new to Twitter, b) my friend or c) or my mother.
- Your avatar is a cartoon character. Grow up.
- Your tweets are angry/use mostly predictive text or SMS-language/don't make sense/all of the aforementioned.
- You swear a lot, unnecessarily in your feed/profile. It's just not smart.
- Your picture has not been downscaled so it's warped. (See point 1. Once again, I will make an exception if you are my mother.)
- Your picture has been so professionally shot you look like an ad for yourself and this is just one big PR mission.
- You have nothing to say. See point 3. Oh, and while I'm into food & post about food I think is worth sharing with fellow foodies, I do not find "I am hungry" or "Eating lunch" valid posts.
- You overuse exclamation marks. Okay, I get it, you're a funny guy!!!!!
- Your entire page is filled with the same, repeated personal marketing spam.
- You don't have a bio.
- Your bio is so full you haven't use punctuation or spaces.because.you.are.so.interesting <3
- Your bio is unoriginal and there are spelling mistakes. For example, "Lover of caffiene,chocolat and life !!!"
- Your feed is one long chat with your friends. For the love of Jack Dorsey (creator of Twitter), pick up the phone.
