Thanks for the reply. It makes perfect sense. Yes, I am on primal. I will just ignore it from now on.
Can't say for sure why that happens, but there is usually a lot of "follow hopping" (for the lack of a better term).
On Nostr, follows are not as important as they would be on Twitter, for instance. People come and go as they see fit and you notice it. Since you see the unfollows, I assume you are using Primal - to my knowledge the only client that even shows that.
Don't be discouraged by this - just keep trucking along. Whilst following itself is not a big part of Nostr, it is one nevertheless. Follow the ones you truely want to follow and interact with them if you feel like it. A form of consistency matters much more.
An example is how I have a few people that follow me that very actively talk to me (or scold me xD) like nostr:npub1wprtv89px7z2ut04vvquscpmyfuzvcxttwy2csvla5lvwyj807qqz5aqle and I make sure to talk back as well.
A very oversimplified and over-the-top metaphor could be: On Twitter, everyone just stares at you waiting to do something spectacular and praise you from time to time. On Nostr, they don't stick and wait - rather, it is much more common for you to go to them and talk to them. Again; probably not the most accurate way of describing it but... i hope you get the gist. ^^;
