RE: 10K STEEMIT FOLLOWERS!!! + COMPETITION!
I'd say congratulations to this accomplishment but seeing as though you've managed to get it by mass-following users and remembering what other accounts started doing that had done the same I'm a bit unsure if I want to reward this sort of activity and it makes me wonder if you've done the same on other social media accounts.
50,000 people over 2 youtube channels
I don't usually upvote my own comments but felt its needed for others to realize how you've managed to get 10k followers.
Well, you are correct i follow alot of people around 70k to be accurate however if i did follow for follow my tatic would be horseshit if i only had 1/7th of what i should had i follow alot off accounts as i generally follow anyone who posts a good article as they deserve it, as it happens i even follow you so you can be all "oh he mass follows" well no but yes in a way i do, and... what is the problem with having more following than followers? @acidyo
(is ment to seem arsey)
No problem at all having more following than followers. If you have followed them naturally, say you've read their articles, liked it and followed then sure, that's not a problem. But if you've followed them just so they might notice it and follow you back it gives a false view on your Follower amount.
How do you think users feel like that actually put a lot of time on their posts and value their follower amount vs someone that just spam follows others in hopes to get his follower amount up higher than anyone else?
I've seen a lot of people do that in the past and most started abusing it at the end by trying to sell re-steems and what not. It also brings the case of follower amount not meaning anything and knowing there are services out there that you can buy followers from for a low amount of money makes it even more obsolete to have a big amount of followers.
Sorry but I prefer the users that gain followers naturally and that's all I wanted to have said in the comment. Your account now doesn't look genuine to me and considering we have limited voting power what's the use of having your feed filled with 70k following?
But as i said before there are follow for follow sites and if i did it then i would have to be thick to only have 1/7th of the rewards, i will agree what it looks like is follow for follow but i personally can assure you, i can say everyone i follow i check their articles and like their stuff, also if you do spam follow you get no upvotes as people who follow for follow have 100k following aswell so no upvotes for 99% of their 100k followers however as you can see i have an okay amount of upvotes
I understand your point however it is not applicable here in my opinion if you think otherwise that is absolutely fine.
