Thanks Marius for your nice reply! Ok, I will try to tone it down a little.

So, just to prove that I’m not lying nor confused, I can provide a screenshot or even better, anyone can test this out by himself. All they need to do is just to install this plugin, insert the java code:

a2a_config.templates = {
    twitter: "Reading: ${title} ${link} by @AddToAny"
};

as suggested by micropat, change the @addtoany with your own Twitter handle, then go to an article and click on the Twitter button. After doing that, maximize the small Twitter popup window and have a look at the URL. It will always contain this tag no matter what: &related=AddToAny
It is because of this related tag, AddToAny will always be recommended on the post-tweet page (after you tweet) as a “Who To Follow” suggestion.

And this is just one problem which I discovered after doing a short test… God knows how many other sneaky injections are in this plugin for other services, such as Facebook for example…

As answered here, specify two accounts to change the two accounts Twitter shows on the post-Tweet “Who to follow” page :

a2a_config.templates = {
    twitter: "${title} ${link} by @cher @TheOnion"
};

With that template, AddToAny routes you to this Twitter endpoint:
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=Example%20https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F%20by%20%40cher%20%40TheOnion&related=cher%2CAddToAny&via=TheOnion

After you tweet that, Twitter suggests following @cher and @TheOnion. Only when you follow one of those is AddToAny suggested (instead of some random account).

If that’s not working for you, you have a larger site issue and should post a support topic that points to your site so folks can help. If you’re looking for a feature request, you can post that idea too. Later this week, the Twitter template doc will also document that a template is also a way to control the post-Tweet “Who to follow” page.
