That's the case with my friend's account.
He said he has around 200~ followers, but that only probably 10-30 of them are actually ever engaged in any of his content.
While that may not seem like a big deal to you.. I'd love to have even 8 loyal followers lol. I've gained a few, actually, but I'm still new, so there's much work to be done!
Great post and it's so true.. Numbers generally don't mean much, especially when you look at the facts and statistics on what those numbers even mean..
Thank you and good luck with your part time blogging job :)
