RE: The Illusion Of "Followers"

in #steemit7 years ago

When such a high percentage of the people following you are also following 10,000 others in the hopes of a follow back, they're never going to upvote you. I was wondering about this same thing myself and started checking into new followers and a high percentage are very new and are following an unwieldy number of people. What must a feed look like with 10,000 inputs? I only follow people whose work I really like. When I open my feed I want every post to either be content I'm interested in or at least content that took effort.

Hence why I'm following you 😊😉

Hang in there!

Thanks Buddy... I went through the list of people I was following and cleared out almost 300! My feed is so much more manageable lol! I sat going WTF is that???

Yeah I cleaned some as well. At first I felt bad but then I realized I'm not doing anyone a favor by following if I'm not ever going to engage with them. It's just false hope.

Aw, I see I made the cut, thank you!

You're one of the good ones... I actually know who you are! It was the ones where I was saying to myself, "Who is this... I have NO idea!"
