Welcome to the twentieth day of the May 30 days writing challenge. If you don't know what this challenge is about, please have a look at the introductory post. Also, at the end of each article I will post the links to all the posts in the challenge (if you're joining the challenge, I encourage you to do the same). Also, if you join, don't forget to tag your post with #challenge30days and also leave a comment with the link of your post, so I can evaluate if you're one of the 3 lucky Steemians that will get a full upvote from me.
Who Was The First User You Followed On Steemit? Why?
I'm sure many of you don't remember this, but I think it's a nice exercise anyway. I'm also not sure that I'm remembering it correctly, but I'll do my best (although you can use a blockchain explorer to find the first "follow" operation of an account, I'm too lazy to do it - it's a very lazy Sunday in my part of the Universe, and I kinda surrendered to it).
So, I guess the first user I followed on the Steemit blockchain was either @wadepaterson or @ned. Wade, because he was the one who invited me here, by interviewing me on his "20 questions" series, and @ned because, well, he upvoted that interview and Wade told me he was "one of the big shots there".
So, who was the first person you followed on Steemit? Why? Leave a link to your post in the comments so I can check it out.

I'm a serial entrepreneur, blogger and ultrarunner. You can find me mainly on my blog at Dragos Roua where I write about productivity, business, relationships and running. Here on Steemit you may stay updated by following me @dragosroua.
Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
First person I ever followed was @someguy123 and then the second was @timcliff. I used the anonsteem to purchase my account and first post I saw on the network was by Tim. Two great guys that do a lot for the platform.
On a side note, still waiting all this time for you to hit the follow button on my name Drago haha
Just post at the right time and you can get 20+ bots following you (maybe need to start slow, with one or two each post, but then the snowball effect)
Just got 23 new "followers" in less seconds. All youtube video plagiarist bots sigh
haha I'm not really worried about my follower count, more worried about the quality of the followers and how well they interact. 100 solid followers who constantly engage and interact is better than 5000 bots and spam accounts
Yes, I know.
I heavily parited my 200th follower. Took about a year? Then 2 month later there were 500, but I didn't do a party and giveaway to my followers. Because the last 200 of then were in 2 weeks or so when I wasn't even very active.
The start of the bot wave.
Haha I know what you’re saying. I get notifications of at least 10 new followers a day from @ginabot but the large majority are new accounts or bots. But every once in a while I get a solid user. Just have to keep going about my business
In helping your lazy sunday I did the search for you ;)
Wayhay!
Here you are.
Hello @dragosroua , my first follow is @sweetsssj https://steemit.com/challenge30days/@a-alice/may-30-days-writing-challenge-day-twenty-who-was-the-first-user-you-followed-on-steemit-why

Why
Hey uhh, I'm new and I am very not sure how this works. But I did try to do the challenge/contest just to try it out. XD.
It was a really short post but hopefully y'all would like it..teehee😂

Doesn't need any explanation. They are the steem Kings.@dan and @ned.
To be very honest I don't remember it at all and I don't wanna lie.
I don't remember whom I followed first.
You can check it on Steemd.
Just scroll down, click on the last page and you will find it.
Steemd contains every action (and a lot of data, including the voting power) of your (and everybody else's) account.
Thanks for this tip! I found mine!
It’s day 20 already . 10 more days to go.
It’s been amazing all along
Hello @dragosroua here is my submission for the contest https://steemit.com/challenge30days/@mistakili/may-30-days-writing-challenge-day-twenty-who-was-the-first-user-you-followed-on-steemit-why
Thank you, i wish all the best
Although i joined steem couple of months ago but my memory is not good enough to remember whom i followed first. May be it's my mentor here on steemit @xabi
Hey man, have you created a program so we can look it up?...I forget, I guess SteemD might help, but I believe it might have been a 'follow me I follow you comment' to which I now ignore hehe :)

Tbh a little boring today, but it doesn't hurt to ease down for a day. That's why I took a humorous approach.
Here is my post.
That is a cool question...

I'm pretty sure it was everyone's favorite steemer.

A day late again:

That was refreshing. I'm glad the blockchain kept everything I did because the first person I thought I followed turned out to be the second person. lol

@jerrybanfield
Awesome challenge @dragosruoa. You continue to rock. Here is my entry for today https://steemit.com/ulog/@empress-eremmy/first-person-i-followed-on-steemit-and-why-30-days-challenge
I can do that in 30 seconds, not minutes:
How the hell should I remember that??
I have absolutely no clue. I wish there was a way to tell. Those days feel so long ago lol.
Nevermind! I found it by looking at the last page of my results on Steemd. Thanks to @xplosive for the tip. Post coming later today.
@boxmining. He was one of my main influences to coming to this platform, so, obviously, I followed him first.
MIssed out on this one yesterday and won't get a chance to catch it up, so I'll just tell you here that the first account I followed was steemitblog, then ned. I guess I figured I should know a little something about the platform, though I don't remember following them first. :)
