I did not understand how steemit worked until about 2 weeks ago and I am still learning more every day. I thank you for taking the time to explain this... I think maybe it would be a good idea to explain to people that it's important to build a following of active users. Just following everybody you see with the hopes that they will follow you back doesn't seem to be a good strategy. I have seen hundreds of profiles like that that seem to have given up and moved on to other things. I am starting to use tools like steem now and this new one called spectacles to help understand better how the site really works. I wish there was a way to reorganize the site when viewing so that I could more easily see when a person has followed me so that I could check them out to see if they have content that I want to follow. Right now, it automatically sort of drops them into an alphabetical listing... so pruning my list of follows is hard work. But I'm doing it. I check my feed every day and when I see posts that I like and are interesting I comment and upvote. And when I see posts that are obviously spammy or completely not interesting I ignore... if I see too many posts like that in my feed I unfollow. Is that a good strategy do you think @papa-pepper? Thanks again for your wisdom and experience on this. It's a learning process indeed.

Your strategy sounds better than mine. My followed section is a mess and I think that I may need to start over!
