My Journey Down the Vexbolts Unfollowing Rabbit Hole
Alright, let me tell you what I got up to the other day. I kept seeing stuff online, bits and pieces, mentioning this “vexbolts unfollowing website”. Sounded kinda weird, right? Like, a whole website just to unfollow one person? My first thought was, why? What’s the big deal with this Vexbolts character anyway?
So, naturally, I got curious. You know how it is. I started digging around a bit. Just typing stuff into search, looking through forums, places like that. Turns out, there was this big trend thing, mostly on TikTok I think, where loads of people were apparently unfollowing this Vexbolts guy all at once. Some folks found his stuff annoying, others just seemed to be doing it for a laugh, like a big inside joke.
But a specific website? Nah, couldn’t find one dedicated just to unfollowing him. That seemed like internet talk, maybe mixing things up. What I did find were those general tools or apps people use to manage their social media accounts, specifically for Instagram or maybe TikTok too. You know the type, the ones that promise to help you clean up your follower list.
Finding a Tool (Not Really a Vexbolts One)
I stumbled across one of these tools. It wasn’t called “Vexbolts Unfollower 5000” or anything cool like that. It was just a regular account management thingy. Looked simple enough. I figured, okay, maybe this is what people were using during that trend. Let’s see how it works.
Signing up felt a bit iffy, gotta admit. Handing over your account access always feels weird, but I wanted to see the process through. Once I was in, it wasn’t about targeting one specific person. It was more like:
- Scanning my own followers.
- Showing me accounts that don’t follow me back.
- Pointing out accounts that seem inactive, like “ghost followers”.
The Actual Process
It gave me lists, basically. Lists of people I could potentially unfollow. There were options to select a bunch at once, or go one by one. I didn’t actually follow Vexbolts myself, so I couldn’t test unfollowing him specifically. But I did use the tool to clean up my own following list a bit. Clicked a few buttons, selected some accounts that looked like bots or hadn’t posted in ages.
The tool then started doing its thing. It took a little while, chunking through the unfollows. It wasn’t instant. Felt kind of automated and impersonal, watching it tick down the numbers.
So, What Did I Learn?
Well, first off, there probably isn’t a magic “vexbolts unfollowing website”. It seems more like people just used regular unfollow tools that already exist, maybe spurred on by that TikTok trend.
Using the tool itself? It worked for general cleanup, I guess. Cleared out some dead accounts from my ‘following’ list. But the whole experience made me think. This whole mass unfollowing trend, whether it’s Vexbolts or someone else, feels a bit strange. Like mob mentality, but online and kinda pointless?
Anyway, that was my little adventure trying to figure out the vexbolts unfollowing thing. Didn’t find a dedicated site, just ended up using a standard cleanup tool and pondering weird internet trends. Just another day online, eh?
