unfollows
Cuts digital ties
Unfollows is the third-person singular form of unfollow, a verb born from social media platforms where users can choose to stop seeing someone's posts or updates in their feed.
To unfollow someone is to reverse a previous decision to follow them, typically because their content has become annoying, irrelevant, or objectionable.
She unfollows anyone who posts more than ten times a day.
Unlike blocking, unfollowing is usually invisible to the other person.
