The question is :
.
..........how does one 'pick up ' followers when so much of the voting (and presumably reading) is done by bots?
.
.
lookit the number of active accounts...how many of them are bots?
.
I have picked up well over 100 and I have never blogged. I sometimes comment and people follow me as they get to know me. Others follow because I vote on their posts. Vote on little fish and they follow you!
Well, that is my opinion as a curator.
. 1768 posts
(articles and comments)
. I follow 802 People
(not bots...I check)
. and I only have 276 followers

You're my only chance!
. (Yeah ...I know...keep paddling)
It looks like you have made over 2,000SP just on your content. If so, that is quite an accomplishment. I had to buy mine (and voting gives me about 50SP per day if I am lucky)
Try to think in percentage terms. Berwick's the big kahuna, right? with 3000+ followers.
You have almost 10% as many as him.
Imagine having 10% as many subscribers as the biggest guy on twitter. (I want to say Ashton Kutcher?).
I guess I gotta get naked and walk in the back door of Charlie's house in order to "be like Ashton" - hehe. My six pack is not what it used to be - so no luck there likely.

I've re invested everything I earned form author and curation rewards.
I don't have any discretionary money to invest.
I'm paddling as hard as I can.
I'm not suggesting we sell our kidneys, just that we should be careful what we wish for :)

I try not to be a twit.
So I dunno who you are referring to.
I assume it's a good thing?
I agree with you. Same strategy on my side.
Each steemer who's a bot is one less I have to compete against as a content creator :)
That's a great way to look at it. But none of my content ever gets hit. I am lucky to get $0.11
hmmmm
108,596 accounts
31,120 accounts are active
2,962 "curators"
1,164 authors?
Seems you got your wish..
I love Elyque's posts
I meant that if I post something and it runs for 24 hours - the post gets like $0.11
I don't really care about what steem is worth in dollars.
i wish that was true..Bots are primed to vote for the proven $
Then you want to make sure that includes you. Particularly while we're little.
