Nothing hurts more than starting a thread on Letsrun and seeing it go to the second page without any responses.
I have felt that pain before.
How would that happen? Spammers?

Whoever unfollowed you on Strava has some seriously messed up priorities and values.
Nah, some people just deserve to get unfollowed on Strava.
Possible reasons include, but are not limited to:
1. Starts a new run for every 400 meter repeat so that on speed work days, anyone who follows That Guy is flooded with 12-16 entries of his reps.
2. Signs up for 10 different challenges seemingly every day and floods followers' feeds with stupid badges he earned. "That Guy Ran 10K Badge".
3. Used to run but got injured and now posts all sorts of uninteresting cross-training activities. I follow people for their running, not to learn that they used to the stairmaster for 30 minutes or that they rode their bike to Starbucks.
4. Posts a lot of post-run selfies. Don't need to see your top-less, sweaty pic after every four miler you do, guys.
5. Changes title of every run to some long and overly descriptive paragraph.
"Afternoon run in Hillsdale in which I was barked at by Gene's dog and found a dime on the sidewalk in front of Planetary Pizza."
I've had to unfollow about 10 total people for violations of some combination of the above.
⬆this nailed it
I just started using Strava last week. I have 1 follower and I follow 1 person. I'm also VERY slow.
Social media increases likelihood of depression. It's BAAD.
All of it is bad & unnecessary. If you want to dismiss someone.....DO IT. Don't coward out & "mute" "snooze" ETC. because even though this makes it easier on YOU it's still just as shitty on the victim's end. You're STILL deceiving that person even though you've made it EASIER ON YOU. It's wrong.
