Same here bro, I don't bother about followers . The only way to get genuine followers is when you give our your best and poeple follow you just because they wana have more of you and what you have to offer.
When people go around asking people to follow them as I see on steemit with most newbies, all they get are fake followers , people who follow you because you follow them.
Right now I regret doing that when I came into steemit newly and I advice people not to.
The thing that makes steemit different for me is basically the thing that makes it different for you. Getting to interact with like minds. Getting to meet people who are so passionate about what they do. You know they say that money is a motivator so the people you get to find here are people who wana give out their best for the money and in turn you get to learn from what they are giving out and by so doing, also improving on yourself.
Steemit is really a place to be and it is the best thing that happened to me this year. Well except something better happens and takes its place...lolzz
Man I am really glad I met you since you got on here. You have a brilliant mind and perspective on life. I can tell you are passionate about what you talk about. I really appreciate that alot. Keep it up brother.
