I have the same thing happen to me often. Sometimes I get a notification on my GitHub homepage that someone followed me a day or so ago, and when I click to view their profile it seems that they have already unfollowed me. For example, This guy did it, and he has 6K+ followers and is only following ~200: https://github.com/NobleMajo. It seems weird that he would follow me to unfollow me right away. I have a feeling that these accounts do this intentionally to harvest followers by prompting Github to show a ton of different people that he is following them in order to have them follow back in exchange. I think most people will follow someone back who follows them without really thinking about it. In my case I investigated who it was who followed me and realized he isn't actually following me and is probably harvesting followers. Why would someone waste time out of their life to do this? Who knows. Probably want to feel special or stand out from other people without doing anything to earn it.
