In my first week or two on Steemit I followed a few hundred people and I had to take steps to reduce that.
Make a list of people you enjoy reading their content of and those who you enjoy engaging with. Those are the people who you should follow. If you are not sure then invest some time (in your case a lot of time) checking up on each person you are following and asking yourself “am in interested in following this person content and interacting with them?” If no unfollow!
After that try and find someone who does curation here on Steemit. They resteem the best of what they read a few times a day to your feed. This helps you find wonderful new people when you don’t have time to go out and find them yourself. You tend to just randomly run into one of these yourself or hey they leave you a comment letting you know!
While you do have 329 people following you if they unfollow because you did they had 0 and I mean 0 impacts on you. They are just unfollowing and following for follows. They don’t’ care about you. You were only a number to them.
This is great advice. Not the reason I'm responding though, this is the reason I'm responding: (in your case a lot of time) I think I may have..mmm, nope, dry, but close... ;)
I’ve noticed quite a number of amazing people have an interesting follow ratio.
After a certain point people just seem to give up on maintaining and having any control over it. Which is understandable I use to spend every weekend trying to catch back up on every person I was following. That was a weekend afternoon hehe.
I’m just blessed I follow enough to keep my feed interesting and flowing but not to many it turns into a circus with lots of room to spare.
