I’ve seen people on Twitter brag about having 6 figures blocked. So it at least works for that many. I know Marc Andreessen notoriously has a lot of people blocked. I wonder if it’s in the millions.

- dwaltrip 5y agoIf someone spent 5 hours a day on twitter, and blocked a new person every 5 minutes... then after 4.5 years of doing this every single day, they would reach 100,000 people blocked.
- Spivak 5y agoWhich is why you have a block-chain browser extension do it recursively.
- estebank 5y agoAs evidenced by this post, people use automated tooling that can easily make that number balloon.
- ryanSrich 5y agoBlock lists. They exist, and there are tools to implement them.
- Bedon292 5y agoOnce every five minutes feels quite low in this situation. I don't really block, just mute for the most part. But I can go in and mute a dozen accounts in a minute in the comments on someone big's tweets. If you are someone with a high engagement rate, and actually want to curate the comments, you could easily end up blocking a hundred in a couple minutes.
- dwaltrip 5y agoGotcha, makes sense. I'm not on twitter so I wasn't actually sure what to put for that.
