New users are sometimes confused about how seeds are used on the twiends. Unlike some other sites where you manually “spend” credit on items, twiends automatically transfers seeds between users based on the actions they perform. So if you offer 2 seeds for someone to follow you on twitter we will automatically deduct 2 seeds from your account when someone follows you. The same behavior occurs for twitter, facebook and youtube viewings. If you want to temporarily stop giving seeds to others you can delist yourself from any of these parts of the site from the settings pages.
