  Hi there, sorry to hear it stopped working. Tools such as Like, Follow, and commenting are designed for genuine interactions, not for building numbers or drawing attention to your site. The system will revoke access if it detects anything that looks like bulk marketing, and will permanently block access at some point. If it hasn’t worked for 10 days, you’re likely out of luck.

  If you’re running out of content to read, I’d suggest following topics instead.

  Hoping this helps!

  I genuinely follow sites and read their content. As well as post regularly.
  Just want to know will I be able to follow any sites in future or its permanently deactivated.
  If so will delete the blog.

  You’ve followed almost 1.000 blogs in under a month, and that’s why your following ability has been disabled. Unfortunately, as @supernovia mentioned, this is permanent, and there’s nothing else we can do.
