Twitter doing my head in

    So the last few days I've noticed that the amount of account I'm following has increased dramatically.

    I googled this and I've gone through all the usual precautions, changing password, checking if there are third party apps automatically adding follows, blocking all additional accounts etc etc but nothing seems to be working.

    More than 50 new accounts on my timeline today alone.

    Has anybody experienced similar? Going off my head trying to get this sorted.

    Could it be promoted tweets? They will show up whether you like it or not.
    Go through your "following list", did you add these people?

    No it's not promoted tweets. These are people that I definitely didn't follow.

    Had a look at my own list
    https://twitter.com/<biko>/following
    but all seems well.

    Change password again and remove everyone you didn't want

    Cheers but I've done that twice now and I've blocked all of them as well but there are still accounts being added.

    Set up a new account or you could just leave twitter altogether and be better of for it. Personally I do not like it myself. Tried it once was not there long can,t see why people like it it is all over the place and is just head wrecking. Nope much better of without it. Facebook is enough and even it can be a right mess as well. It is nowhere near as good as it used to be but its still better than being on twitter which can,t be good for people. I have heard that there is people who work in the media that spend their whole day just looking at twitter looking to get a post or news that is interesting. I do not envy them it can,t be good on the brain.
