Thanks for the follow, you're #3 thanks to this post. All 3 are from people seeing resteems. Nobody saw the post in the "new" tab, which is how the majority of my 500 followers found me.
It reminds me of my FB page for @GirlsofGreen. We grew to 900 within a few months organically, then suddenly something changed behind the scenes, and our posts get about 1/4 the reach they used to. So instead of 100 people seeing our post (out of 1180 total), we're getting 20 or 30. It's making activism INCREDIBLY hard there. Pages on other topics, with absolutely no posts or activity, are growing faster than my bustling cannamodeling page. It's like NOBODY wants to see pretty girls smoking weed anymore. Suddenly, I just can't give this stuff away.
