I also go by the followers/follow > 1, but for N>500. If a friend of mine follows 100 people but only has 50 followers, I give them a pass. I'll flat out block someone if it's clearly a "social media expert" with follows close to followers over 1000. It's pretty clear that they aren't really following anyone and will unfollow me in 48 hours if I don't help pad their stats.
I agree. Friends always get a bye on the filter, but I'm way more likely to look at someone who has 150 follows and 50 followers than someone with 2k of each (which means they're just playing the follow me/follow you game).
