@purepinay I do have similar experience though she is not my follower. She wanted to follow me because of my post but seeing that I resteem too much, she decided not to follow me. She told me about it on one of my posts. Since then, I rarely resteem and only focus on making my own content.
I also learned from @jerrybanfield that you may lost your follower if you resteem not because they don't like the things you resteem but because they are now more interested on the post you resteem. So instead focusing on your post, that follower will now follow the person that owns the post you resteem. And give little to no attention to your posts.
