Nice, I can finally unfollow some people and have another excuse than "I'm following too many, sorry".

I had two times such a thing. With @thermomania and @fractalnode but now everything is ok.

yep its been over four months and its happening still @timcliff

Hi @timcliff, 
I have experienced this several times in the past. I recently reduced the number of  people that I follow and for now things look OK. 
The accounts that got 'unfollowed' where often the very same accounts.

I have a few theories about what's happening.

here's the thing...
I thought for sure, a few weeks ago, I was follwing 213 people.
Now, it says 211.

But I have no idea who is missing

I haven't noticed this happening to me.
BUT I did notice a case where I suddenly found an account's post in my feed that I DEFINITELY  would NEVER follow.  
It was @dporn
I looked to be absolutely sure, and it does not show me as following that account on their home page.
I took this screen shot on July 28th, and shared it with 3 witnesses that I know in case they had a clue what was happening, or if it was happening to other people too, but nobody had heard of it before.

The other very odd thing is that you can see the post shows as 8 hours old, between a 1-minute-old and 13-minute-old post.  The only time that normally happens if it is was resteemed by someone that I follow -- yet this clearly does not show as being a resteem.

So --- is Steemit not only making us unfollow accounts but also sometimes making us follow accounts that we never chose too?  
In this case, I finally decided to 'mute' the account so that I don't have to see it in my feed again.

Yes, this has been happening to me, a few times actually & recently with @darrenclaxton, whom I directly did follow again.
I was already thinking... am I crazy, why am I not following him, I know I pressed that follow button before...

I noticed, when following someone on Steemit it might not appear as you are following them on Dsound, Dtube, Dlive, Steepshot. 
If you press the "Follow" button on those just named platforms, you unfollow them on Steemit, happened to me. 
I looked like an idjiot, follow, unfollow, follow ;)

With Darren that wasn't the case though, I just wasn't following him one day, he even joked about it :)

Gee, I wonder if it is. I finally, a few months back, just put a folder in tabs of many of the people I follow so I can find them that way. It's more labour intensive, but then I can try not to miss out on people, but sometimes someone will pop up and I'll think, "gee I thought I was following them"

I am confident this has been happening for a while, but I cannot prove it in the way you need.  I am very glad to see someone looking into it, however.  (We can't *all*  be crazy!)  Thank you so much.

Ok, I'm 100% I followed @eaglespirit and I found out I am no longer following. Did not refollow yet. Hope this helps. I'll also take a look into my history....

It's happened to quite a few people...including myself...but can you ever be truly sure you didn't just forget to follow them? Or maybe unfollowed them by accident? Or because their posts kinda suck...

It's okay for me, I checked it into two weeks period activity, my account is normal.

Yup, happened to me too. I noticed it on 3-5 accounts I have refollowed. Didn't have a better idea even though I remember a similar dysfunction on Youtube very well.
Other accounts I followed might be affected. I didn't check all of them.

Hey @timcliff. I have been noticing this too. 
Lately I have been re-following the accounts, but next time I notice I will let you know.

Yea, I realised this issue as well.

I just found one I believe I was following but now lost: @heyitshaas

i think its true, im sure i would have 20k followers now instead of 18,5 if this bug wasnt running

It's been that way for some time now but I just left it alone because I thought it was a glitch in the system and hoped it would correct it self, but it didn't. Last 2 weeks ago merlin7 sent me a request that she was following me and asked that I follow her too so I did but this week I noticed I wasn't following her anymore, so I just left it as it is.
