Why does depop have a 7501 follow limit ?
So far there is no real understanding as to why this exact number was implemented by Depop. As far as why does Depop would have a follow limit at all, the answer typically lies with spammers (excessive follow for follow activity). Other social sites like twitter have implemented a follow limit as well for similar reasons. Depop Spammers degrade the quality of the site. It is hard to interact with the content of people up to a certain point. If you were following a million people on depop would you really care about each of their shops really ? you cannot keep up with so many people.
There is an argument to be made that following many people makes it hard to build meaningful relationships with and target LOTS of people at once.
