Why doesn't Al follow fans back on Twitter?

almost half the musicians on twitter follow their fans back? I wonder why Al doesn't.

Oh c'mon, would you want to follow a bunch of strangers that aren't really that interesting? Maybe those musicians who follow everybody don't read their twitter, so it's no difference to them, but Al actually wants it to be interesting. I totally get it. He seems to check the tweets mentioning him, because he often favourites those kind of tweets from random people.offbeatbryce wrote:almost half the musicians on twitter follow their fans back?

lots of musicians follow over 1,000 of their fans. They even do follow sprees where they tweet "Who wants a follow back? Tweet me?"TonyBanks74 wrote:I personally don't know any musician who follows his/her fans back (it could be, I don't really know). I also think it must be quite annoying to follow millions of people, as you would have millions and millions of tweets you don't necessary care about. However, it seems he reads very often tweets where he's mentioned.
I'm pretty sure they don't read their tweets. Other than lame clame to fame those fans still get zero interaction. You probably have better chances of Al retweeting you despite not following you than with those following you.offbeatbryce wrote:lots of musicians follow over 1,000 of their fans.

My guess would be that those sorts of sprees are planned/run by marketing folks for publicity reasons.mellow weasel wrote:I'm pretty sure they don't read their tweets.

Yes, he does, and his tweets are usually hilarious . Even if you're not registered, I really recomend you to check his twitter once in a while. You don't need to be registered to see it, or at least you didn't need a couple of years ago.FreedomHaul wrote:Following that idea out, does Al check/run his own Twitter account? I'm not on Twitter...
