Someone I followed about a month ago, who has posted many times since then, just messaged me to ask why I unfollowed them.
I was kind of surprised they even noticed, but the truth is I did it because they didn't follow me back. That's fine, no sweat, but I'm here for something more mutual.

Aldous Huxley wrote to George Orwell to congratulate him on Nineteen Eighty-Four and argued the future would look more like Brave New World, with consent engineered by pleasure and habit more than fear. He was right. Orwell was, too.
