RE: CURIOSITY: Why is the number one person in terms of followers someone who appears to only resteem? Digital archaeology/anthropology

I also didn't make it through my entire list of followers to do this. So I am sure there are still people I am following that are doing this. It is something I'll do as I notice it. If you are fine with not up voting your own comments then let me know and I'll gladly give you a follow and at least when dealing with me I'll likely give you what you were giving yourself or more. I've decided I'll switch from 1% to 2% to see how that impacts my pool. If it is not much of a drain I may then switch to 3%. I up vote a lot of comments...

Whoops, so many replies I'm getting them mixed up...

It is proving to be a struggle. I miss a lot of really good stuff, but I am trying to help out as many people as I can. I did drop down to about 300 for awhile because of the struggle but I found steemit becoming kind of an echo chamber for me and I was missing some cool new people. So now I figure I'll follow a lot of people and just a few times a year try to go through them and prune the ones that are not active, etc.

It's still very much a work in progress. I'm trying. I'm sure I'll have to change some things. With the limit to votes requiring a control my %s far more than before it is still a struggle to learn how I can best influence the platform the way I want to. I don't actually curate based on earning potential at all. I curate based upon supporting content I enjoy and I also believe up voting comments is a big part of that.

Neither a vegan nor a hypocrite :)

I love eating meat. I've looked at animals before and thought "I wonder what that tastes like?" but I was raised in a pretty rural environment with a lot of wild life and my favorite meat is actually Elk which we only got really during hunting season. I haven't had elk in a few years.

I have no idea what elk even is - like venison?

Bigger and not as gamey. It is between a Deer (Venison) and a Moose in size. They can get quite big. They taste distinctly different from Venison though. It's actually one of my favorite meats. It's also usually very lean.
