Then I've seen smaller users barely able to get past the dust threshold have a great comment section that added a lot of value to the post.
You will probably find this funny.. but just recently I stalked your account to see who you followed recently. Knowing your habits, I figure those you did could be alright. I would rather have the BOT I run be filled with 500+ users.
I know it's not interaction, and targeted votes by the likes of @hr1 (2018 days) kept me going and infused in my earlier days with these votes.
I've been a bit semi-afk lately (travel + focus on holozing) so haven't followed too many new ones. Another great place to look at and which could use more curators would be @lovesniper/feed or accounts it decides to trust and follow and then later unfollow once they're doing well enough on their own or pass a certain threshold.
Its following also represents all the accounts it deemed genuine/real but who stopped posting so there could always be some gems that return.
