Already pruning with FLiker do you follow back your new followers btw?

Fair enough, should I make sure I follow all new followers back btw? (that aren't already followed through FL botting but come from some place else for example)

I do follow back new followers unless they're obvious bots or clearly counterproductive to my objectives with the account. My philosophy is that you don't lose a thing by providing them a follow especially if they followed you first. Some folks have the idea that they should have 20k and only follow a few, but as far as I can tell, there's no real advantage to doing so and its better PR anyway, as you dont look like a douchbag later by unfollowing a bunch of people who followed you first or returned the favor in the past. SOme people are impressed by that, i suppose, but if i see someone who does that i wont follow in the first place. Also I have the idea that my followers are smarter anyway

doh- i forgot to tell you my scheduling- i follow a bunch and let them sit for at least 4 days, often longer. I have the luxury of not being constrained by the limits, so i can let them sit for longer if necessary. Remember that most people are doing this for fun or entertainment and may not be a daily user at all, often those viewing habits are to log in once every 3-5 days. That doesn't apply to everyone of course, but there's a good argument that the majority of consumers have a similar non-daily schedule.

Only 2-3%? That's nothing. I'd expect more taken that the followers are active, real users and not fake ones.
Maybe it would be a good idea to keep the mutual followers and unfollow only those who don't follow back after 3-4 days. There's a daily following limit of 1k, OP has 8k followers, so it would be enough to regularly unfollow those who don't follow back. It would also look more natural to have a following count fluctuation in the hundreds (1k max) than going from 8k to zero with a not too big account.

I'd start by unfollowing the ones that don't follow you. Then I'll unfollow some of those that seem less active so they prolly won't notice and therefore, won't unfollow back.
