RE: Why is it important to follow and upvote small accounts? - The key to a healthy community growth.

Good post, great response too 50 comments. Wow. Nice. But yes I completely agree with you. I'm trying to do good welcoming new people. I comment in probably too many posts. Often my comment verges on the length of the post haha. I was guilty of the follow for a follow. Since I'm so new here I don't think it's a bad thing though. Some of the people I followed will stay and make quality posts! Most of the people I followed back for following me won't upvote my post or take time to respond to anything I say. That's the downside of follow for follows. Gaining followers organically is surely the best way to go. And speaking of that. You can add +1 follower. Hope to have more good conversations in the future yo, good luck steeming! Have you voted yet? I made a post yesterday about why new people should take the time to go vote..

Sort:  

i have to admit sometimes when I follow someone I let them know. Partly because I want followers (which is very low from me but I declare myself guilty) and partly because I am really interested that this user inparticular follows me because I know he/she will like what I have to offer.

Comment wise, I take like 2 hours every 2-3 days to answer every comment in a meaningful way so I get what you are saying about lenghty comments hehehe. I didn´t know this post was going to get this response! I asked a few friends over steem chat to check it out and I shamelessly did a little bit of promotion just to make it visible to other people because I really really want this message to be passed on.

Thanks for the follow! I liked Foundation for the fiftywordcontest, did you know I won the 10th edition? (Yes, bragging here hehehehehe). I like people who post their own stories and photography, followed you back because of that.
