Having a few faithful followers that actually "read your stuff" is better than number of followers who just scroll and upvote.
If I spend time to pour my heart out in a post. The financial gain is a benefit... but having people thank you and appreciate it who actually read it is even more rewarding. :)
So I agree with your statement:
Would you rather have tons of followers that doesn't interact with you or your content or only a handful of followers who gives a damn about you and your content?
I'd go with a handful of followers every day of the week!
:) Thank you :)
I couldn't agree with you more!
Rewards are obviously amazing in every way but one should never forget that "rewards" doesn't have to be in terms of money. Rewards to me are more than that. Upvotes & comments for instance.
