I'd say there's an extra psychological component on this, following so many dads (reply guys, random dads, paypigs, art dads, clip dads, music dads...) gave a sense of equality. She had her favorites, but she had at least a minimum interest for the rest, and if you have been interacting with her since the early days there's a good chance that you were followed by her. She has been always very close to /yah/, and she following you was a proof in a particular way that you weren't just a random name for her you most likely were just a random name for her
So cutting down all of her followings but still keeping her usual twitter activity (liking the tweets of certain dads) is an emotional slap in the face for some guys, specially after doing an announcement about she not having enough time to keep using twitter as before, and that she was only going to blogpost and check out the tags from now on
