When i first joined i followed everyone back who followed me, then after a month i realised it was stupid, not because i had tons of followers but because when i posted a one month thank you post no one out of my 100 followers responded at all. What happened to those nice people who was interested in my blog?
Thats when i realised the best way to get quality followers is to follow quality Steemians. I can't control who follows me or comments in my posts, but I can go through my followings and weed out people based in certain criterias to get it down to a manageable and quality level.
I think almost every one of us has been in that phase (more or less) at the beginning, but if nothing after some while you realize that even if you want to you can't follow some enormous amount of people especially if they blog daily or even less if they blog several times per day.
I mean, we can't follow them in a quality way by upvoting and comment something meaningful.
However, thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and experience! 🙂
