RE: I JUST FOLLOWED YOU NOW SUPPORT ME AND FOLLOW ME BACK!!!!!!.....Not.
As my posts usually dont engage so many people, I am always a bit excited if I see a red number at the reply tab and always I get a bit mad if its a copy pasted " nice post! plz follow me!"
I think people need to realize that a huge following means nothing, if its only "empty" followers you get through this. They will not engage with your content and all it does is filling your feed with posts you are propaply not really interested in and vice versa.
Oh my goodness, I wrote something very similar yesterday. I get really excited to see that comment and then poof. No more excitement when the comment that was left has nothing to do with the post and they really aren't engaging with you. Just trying to build up their followers numbers. I guess I'm getting better at ignoring it now though!
Gatorskin +1!!!
Exactly, empty followers do nothing for your following. I agree, for sure!
Agree as well. I like to give my follows to members bringing the content that I like and enjoy reading. So my feed is full of interesting articles and valuable information. Following just for a follow back creates a fake sense of being followed, since most of them will come from people that are not interested in your content. I prefer to go to a slower peace but more solid and trustable. Giving follows away devaluates the quality of Steemit conten, for sure. While, following only good content providing members, does the opposite.
Thanks for such a great post!
Woot woot! I hear ya, man!
