Many of the Joe Schmoes who add you but don't know you are just following you so that you add them, anyway. They want to get their follower count up.

There's this local chick that has 50,000 followers. She's just some average middle aged lady who's friends with a bunch of local online pioneers. I decided to follow her one day to see what the hype was about...and I wasn't impressed. I realized she was just a follower whore.

My 8th grade teacher found me one day. I debated letting him view my posts, but I decided against it. That was just too creepy.

I'll add somebody if I think he/she's interesting or if we have mutual friends. I follow several of you on GC as well. I'm fine with my less than 100 followers!
