Hey this is on point, and thanks for shout out yo. I myself have 1000's of followers and I would say only 50 real supporters. 1 person who leaves a good comment is worth thousands of 'followers' who I am guessing are doing it for the exact reason you state. There is nothing wrong with trying to game the system, it is somewhat of a game. I guess they assume following the people with lots of followers or upvote power is a good strategy.
For this reason one day I will change my account and leave my Steem power in an alt account. Then people wont follow me because my upvote is worth something, they wont follow me because I have lots of followers. They will follow me because they want to. I guess in a sense it is like Stephen King or JK Rowling when they wrote books under pseudonyms to see if their success was based on quality or just their name, each with varying levels of success.. When I do it, I expect to keep a smaller amount of followers. Hoping that I may increase my follower to supporter ratio lol!
I agree that you should landscape the next video if you can so it takes up the whole video box too.. and I wont be delegating support for your plastic surgery, no fakeness. Just be you yo. Maybe one day I will mask up and go on dtube just to get myself out of my comfort zone, or at least make a video and upload it somewhere. If only the sound of my own voice wasnt so cringy to me.
