Great post denox and you really hit the hammer on the head with this one. Indeed followers are pretty meaningless on Steemit as most of those followers will not read your posts or are just simply inactive. They might have been active users for a few days/weeks but a lot of bloggers/writers quit Steemit sometimes, I am also guilty of this since I started working and don't have the same free time as I used to have.
Great suggestion of unfollowing people that don't bring valuable content and bloggers on which posts you wouldn't actually comment or even read them. It has no value for yourself to follow them but also no value for the blogger since you will not be paying attention to their posts.
Besides this I think Steemit, together with all other crypto related fora are not experiencing the best of times since the cryptocurrencies are only going down for quite a while now. When we recover from this crazy annoying bear market, the interest in Steemit will probably rise again and more people will become active readers/bloggers again, this last paragraph is just my opinion though and I'm not entirely sure this is the case but I think so :)
Steem-on Denox, you deserve more upvotes/comments for your posts. But on Steemit quality does not necessarily lead to success... Steemit still has a long way to go to becoming an advanced blogging forum on which the good writers get what they actually deserve!
Yeah man... the bear market is super annoying at this point lasting for pretty much almost 3 whole months and I think its almost time for the big investors to take some price action. How low do they want the coins to be before they go bullish on this? And yeah, I will continue to unfollow all unactive users and good that you do the same so only good content appears on your feed :)
