Asymmetric follow refers to a social network allowing many people to follow an individual or account without having to follow them back.[1] It is also known as asynchronous follow[2] or sometimes asymmetric friendship.[3]
Asymmetric follow is a common pattern on Twitter, where someone may have thousands of followers, but themselves follow few (or no) accounts.[4][1] In September 2010 Facebook started experimenting with a similar feature, which Facebook calls "Subscribe To."[2][5]
