... Abdul. I made UnfollowKit ( https://unfollowkit.com ), so this is my own product. TikTok shows your follower count dropping but never tells you who left. Most trackers I tried wanted my TikTok password or a data-export upload, and I wasn't comfortable giving them either. UnfollowKit works two ways: - **Scan a public @username.** It shows who doesn't follow back and, compared with your earlier scans, who unfollowed you. The free scan checks the top 100 of each list.

... moving forward , i am realising why a professional UI/UX designer is needed Comment from Eva Matova(@evitam): I think I m not the worst UI/UX designer , but I definitely struggle with keeping things consistent and also I m never quite satisfied with the result.

... years a lot of us flipped a switch in Cloudflare called "Block AI bots." It was one click, it was free, it was framed as protecting your content, and there was no reason not to. I did it. I never thought about it again. On 15 September that switch is deprecated, and the thing it does changes. Here is the specific mechanic, from Cloudflare's own docs rather than the coverage.
