In an attempt to curb the rate of spam activities on its platform, Twitter has come up with a new tactic to achieve this.

The number of new accounts you can follow per day has been furtherly trimmed down to 400, from the former 1000 per day limit.

“So, why 400 per day, and not 100? Or 58? Or 17? In short, we found that 400 is a reasonable limit that allows people to follow the accounts they’re interested in each day while stopping the most spam.”

Yoel Roth (Head of Site Integrity at Twitter) said, explaining the twitter’s 400 limit choice.

He also said, “Improving the health of Twitter is our top priority, and teams across the company are always working to refine these limits based on what we learn about spammer behavior and as malicious tactics evolve”.
