If I follow you then I checked out your postings on Twitter or other social networks and probably your website. There could me many reasons I am following you. Most of the time your are in a field of interest to me and your posts are relevant to that field.
There is a catch though: If I follow you and you don’t follow me back, you have a higher chance of being removed from my follows list when I clean up once in a while. I will usually wait at least 48 hours until I decide to unfollow you again. Of course, you can still follow me at a later time and I might well follow you back.
This is mostly because I like to use DM when I see or notice something that is not meant for the public but just for you. Seeing that window saying I can’t DM you, because you are not following me, is annoying.
There is one exception from this rule: If you are a very unique thinker, that I consider totally essential, you are fairly safe on my follows list. That is your call.
