It is sad to hear that the followers that you believed were true followers were basically bots and spammers. Of course, I already know this fact, since you have shared it before with us. Nevertheless it is an unpleasant experience to have.
But as you said that this has only added to your wisdom and made the picture a lot clearer for you. The thing is that I obviously also saw it happening on your account with my own eyes. How so many people flocked over when you started with the sh10K announcement but suddenly so many disappeared when the time to make the videos came.
On one hand I am sad that you had to see that, but on the other hand I am also grateful that I got to share that experience with you. It has given me a lot of insight about the darker side of this place and next time if I come across such a thing, hopefully I would be able recognize it.
