Having so many followers isn't really important. I got over 1200 and I'm lucky if my post gets even 50 votes. lol
It is nice that I can post pretty much about anything and attract few bucks since I have reached out to so many different types of people.
I need find a way to better utilize the following I have, most of them are still active here.
To summarize. I think that it is important what kind of following we built. We may have 2000 followers but most of them being 20 SP bots and dishonest sycophants who do not even upvote our posts, just fish for votes back with sycophantic lick spittle comments.
Or we may have 500 followers but truly engaging and genuinely reciprocating our Steemit relationship. Having more of the second type can give more of valuable upvotes.
very true. I miss my old following back before the hardfork. My incoming votes are mostly coming from different people than before the hf19, which sucks, I'm mean i love my supporters and return as much as I can to them, but many of my friends here since the start or even a few months ago have changed habits.
I do get annoyed when a new user spams my post and doesn't even vote for it. If they had just given me a little vote all would be well. Steemit is a new world since hardfork. It's going to get wilder.
Yeah it frustrates me too :-)
Sometimes I am just straight forward and say:
"Thanks for the comment. Did you know that, besides commenting, Steemit also allows its users to vote on the posts too?"
lol
cheeky. ^^ I often give a similar remark and then flag the comment. lol
Lol that's rough response :-)
I like it :-)
Maybe I should do too
Actually I will add part of my comment to this post. I think it is thought woth adding.
