Over the years, I’ve followed thousands of Twitter accounts—some for news, some for memes, others just for the moment. Back then, being verified on Twitter was a rare badge of honor, reserved mostly for celebrities, public figures, or official organizations.
Most of the accounts I followed weren’t verified—and that wasn’t a problem at the time.
But everything changed after Twitter revised its verification policy. Now, the blue checkmark doesn’t just mean status—it often signals an active, premium user who’s serious about their content.
And I began to notice a pattern: almost every tweet I liked came from verified accounts.
That’s when it hit me—why am I still following hundreds of unverified accounts that don’t contribute anything meaningful to my timeline?

Why I Wanted to Unfollow Unverified Accounts
I realized my feed was cluttered. While verified users were actively posting high-quality content, many unverified ones I followed had either gone silent or were posting irrelevant or spammy stuff. Some hadn't tweeted in months. Others were part of random trends I no longer cared about.
So, I decided it was time for a cleanup. I wanted a fresh, high-quality feed—and that meant unfollowing unverified accounts.
But there was one major obstacle: I had over 1,000 followings. Manually checking each one’s verification status? No thanks.
