Following Rules and Best Practice – Twitter Help Center
We don’t limit the number of followers you can have. However, we do monitor how aggressively users follow other users. We try to make sure that none of our limits restrain reasonable usage, and will not affect most Twitter users.
Aggressive following is define as indiscriminate following a few users if their accounts seem interesting is normal and is not considered aggressive.
… every user can follow 2000 people total. Once you’ve 2000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow: this limit is different for every user and is based on you ratio of followers to following.
‘A score in the 40s suggests a strong, but niche, following’
‘… influence is about engagement and motivation, not just racking up legions of followers’ (New York Times)
