@TwitReport has, until today, auto-followed anyone who followed it, for functionality of the app (basically, being able to get a DM with some basic information about your new follower).
In the last few days apparently it ended up on some "list" of auto-followers, and I saw about 50 new followers, about half of whom sent some spammy bull-patty nonsense to me via DM in the guise of a "Hey, thanks for the follow WANT TO MAKE MONEY" etc. I don't think most of them were even using the service, they just wanted to be able to get their message out by any means necessary. So now @TwitReport doesn't auto-follow, and the usefulness is decreased, all because some people have to piss all over everything by turning it into some marketing tool. For what it's worth. TjL
