I have been here for a year and 4 months, and just about to reach 10,000 followers.
Before everyone gets excited, probably only 3-4 people actually read my posts and about 250 real people follow me. So while it is cool to break 10,000 it's really just fake news.
Anyway, I look forward to the next 10,000.
While I got you here, did you attend SteemFest?
If so, got anything fun to share? Drop it in the comment section.

Being the 10000th follower of @themarkymark has been the pinnacle of my academic career, what my parents always wished for me and a struggle since my birth.
imma unsub and bring it down to 9999 and make you not his 10kth..
Make it 4-5 people who read your blog.
Didn't go to steem fest. Just figured you'd appreciate a 'real' follower comment. Congrats anyways on the 10,000. Whoo hoo!
SteemFest was amazing! The people and enthusiasm for Steem were great but what impressed me most was the huge number of amazing Apps. They are really delivering the promise of attractive, usable, decentralized applications on a common & free platform. Other blockchains talk about this but Steem is delivering!

I was really looking forward to hitting 1,000 followers until someone said something similar. Still I think it is good to use any excuse to celebrate.
Congrats!
The over all feeling is: how can we get rid of the dead followers? What will happen to those lost accounts funds over time? Do you think they will come back if an uptrend in price is coming? Will they show up after it has happened?
Sadly I could not attend to the SF3 but I wished to go. I'm happy that @flauwy made it there and I hope I can meet him to share some of his experiences and memories. Anyways thanks for your post. and Congratz I guess :D
I wonder I don't really like the way YouTube implemented it but would using a modified sub management system be useful here on steemit? I think YouTube has it set at something like account activity related to channel over the past year? I'm sure with the info that could be collected from the blockchain (votes, resteems, comments, comment upvotes, comment replies) in relation to X account that is being followed perhaps they could come up with a rule to unsub someone after saying X posts to Y engagements in a ratio, and when the ratio gets outside of a set value they unsub. And with steemits "lifecycle" it's not time but engagement with subscription based. I'm no dev but I do like thinking through problems so I have no idea if this is fesiable.
I think that sounds like a very interesting approach and in fact a very doable thing to implement.
Well if it would be doable. How could we go about working on getting the feature considered for blockchain application?
What would go into setup of such a feature?
Not sure but that sounds like something I will need to dig out :)
I'm following you now so please either drop an update here or in a post at some point so I can see. Now I'm curious!
Most of them are bots and automated accounts. Some are "dead" and abandoned. Some are just not active.
Fake News! While I can't read every post you do (nor many of the cool people I follow), I can proudly say I am one of the REALS!
Contrats on your arbitrary round number success!
I didn't make it to steemfest this time, but we are getting closer to the point where we might start showing up at these gatherings!
Congratulations!
And I think you have more real followers and interactions than stated ;)

Congrats on 10k! Do not downplay it, it really is a big deal!
Congrats! Yeah last time I checked of my 1100 followers only about 300 were active! :)

Don’t worry, I’m one of your real follower 🤣
Not only do I read your articles sometimes, no I even read some of the comments of your articles!
And upvote them. For the lolz
I do get some great comments certainly worthy of !popcorn
Ha I have 1000 people following me and no one reads my posts, so beat that... well, feels like it right now... where is everyone? Oh... just looked at steemprice. Blah. SF3 looked fun... loving reading everyones stories. X
Hang in there, the ones who stay and persist will do well as we get beyond the posting on Steemit and into real good Dapps.
I think I've only missed 3 days of posting since April and I'm pretty exhausted but I am still here as I really believe in this platform and I also think it takes all of us to make it work. We can't just hang back and expect other people to make it what it is. If it is quiet we need to make it noisy.

Happy to be a part of the community with you @themarkymark. I don't get a chance to read all of your posts since I'm on the road nearly the entire year and time is scarce, but your content has been helpful and insightful when I do get a chance to stop by. Keep fighting for the little guy and promoting steem. This community is only as good as we are brother.
Going by those ratios I only have 0.2 people read my posts and 12.5 real people following me. 😀
I think there's something wrong with your math and calculating skills. :D
Congratulations anyway! For fake news.
No, I didn't go to SteemFest... but I did read your post.
Congrats reaching 10000 followers though. I'm hot on your heals with 294... I'll race you to 11000 😁.
Or are you chicken! 😜
Congrats on the (fake) milestone ;-)
If only people knew that Steem is more than just "steemit.com".

If only right?
Yeah steemit.com is apparently around 80% of steems usage. @vlemon just posted some stats showing this.
p.s. People reading this go look at steemprojects.com if you haven't yet.

Oh I am sorry. You may delegate...
Yes, I delegate.
The trolls are strong.

Oooh nice. I can make another post tomorrow when I hit 10,000 again.

Wooo! What a milestone even if it's not 10k active followers. No steem fest 3 excitement to share. Just inspired to attend Steem Fest 4! Hoping to post up a shit storm to earn my way to the next event. #goals Have you attended a Steem Fest? Or do you plan to go to one?
