Zach Boychuk follows me on Twitter and I don't know why

[Seb]

It's not Twitter, but Josh Ho-Sang follows my old electronic music project on Facebook.

I didn't see it, I can't believe it, oh but I feel it. When Ho-Sang to me.

Brad Lukowich follows me for some reason. I wasn't even following him when he started following me.

Georges Laraque follows my friend but I think it's for political reasons rather than hockey reasons.

I know this is old, but Zach Boychuk started following me yesterday on Twitter. Weird thing is, even though I have a Twitter account, I don't tweet and barely use it, if ever, strange!

 

[karnige]

same I was so confused then I noticed he follows everyone

 

[irunthepeg]

I wish I had seen this thread a year ago yeah I was shocked when he followed me, as well.

Zach Boychuk:

That movie was actually creepy AF.

Apparently, he recently unfollowed 700K people (as per video below) but funny thing is he still is following around 230K people. Makes you wonder what those other 700K did to get on his bad side.

He unfollowed me months before he had that big unfollowing spree. I must be even worse than those 700k souls.

Who exactly is overly excited to the point of needing calming?

A lot of people in this thread?

It's funny how little some people understand the digital world here.

My take from the people here thst he’s followed is not one of being excited, but rather just finding the notion amusing.

You're not reading the room correctly.

He follows me on four separate accounts. It's amusing. This thread is amusing.

He requested to follow my account twice... I checked it one time and it just looks to be botted.

Zach Boychuk is following you on Twitter, too? There's...

It happened again on Wednesday. One of the small circle Twitter avatars that recently gave me a follow looked interesting. The avatar was a mugshot of Jim Rutherford, a curious enough picture to warrant a mouse-over in search of more information.
In this case, the short investigation revealed that this wasn’t, in fact, the Penguins GM. It was a follower named CarolinaChirp, an account that has a grand total of nine tweets and one follower.
The one follower? Zach Boychuk.
Of course.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

dear god... people are new to bot in 2019 ?

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Twitter uses Boychuk's account to spy on you.

You are all now on some watch list.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

for some reason Stoll, Lehtera and Kuznetsov all follow me, lol

 

[romba]

He tried sliding into my DM. I don''t have twitter.

Might be doin' something wrong here...

 

[Chainshot]

He unfollowed me after I didn't return his follow, lol.

Sounds like he may have a social media manager if that's the case. He's trying to build following.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

He's moved into the final stage of his master plan, unfollow everyone.

 

[tony d]

I just checked, he still follows me. It's pretty neat to have a NHL player follow you.

for some reason Stoll, Lehtera and Kuznetsov all follow me, lol

Ryan Malone as well?

Follow/unfollow bot. Common tactic for boosting your follower count on Twitter. Still, it is amusing that a professional hockey player is using such a tactic.
