Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the KING of "follow for follow" failure...
The other day I wrote a little bit on the rash of "follow for follow" users that have recently appeared here on Steemit.
Since then I found a profile that blows past all of my other examples in terms of proving that F4F doesn't work, so I want to share it with you now.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you @edtorrez - the KING of follow for follow failure! :D
Ed is following 12,420+ other users and he has 2,358 followers.
Yes, that's right, 2358 followers!!
He must be making the big money right?
Not at all. Most of his posts come in at UNDER $0.50!
Go ahead and click on his profile and see for yourself.
Are those the rewards you would want for over 2,300 followers?
Clearly none of these people followed Ed because they cared about him or his content, and clearly establishing a bunch of fake connections got him nowhere.
h/t @hotandrandom
So if you're new to Steemit and you're employing an F4F strategy, now you know to stop doing it because you're wasting everyone's time, especially your OWN!
In fact, if you are a "follow for follow" Steemit user please go to your profile right now and unfollow every single person in your list, and start again.
It's never too late to get it right!

Awesome! I'm happy to hear that. :)
I just realize i am not doing that bad😁 best of luck!!!!!
I have been seeing a lot more of these lately. I can't decide whether to downvote f4f requests or not. They're so tacky, at best. Maybe I'll issue a warning, then a smack with a downvote. It would be nice to get rid of that habit right quick.
I agree. And when you are looking at your own follower number, you can't trust it because these guys are inflating follower accounts by following everyone.
Nice find. Follow for follow not only doesn't work but it ruins your reputation too. Bad practice. Good post. I started linking this postin comments to people who beg for a follow for follow.
Thanxs Luzcy!
exactly my thoughts
yeah F4F is the best strategy to fail here
i see many of those people in the comments on my post
when i see one of them , i flag this shit immediately
i hope new users can understand that the good content is the only way for success here
well said
Some say I have a words with way... ;)
Well said my friend. Nothing worse than making a post and getting 5 upvotes and having hundreds of followers. What are they folowing?
They "think" they're following the money! :D
People thinking this is another "get paid to do something" site are wrong, and should either correct themselves or leave ASAP
thanks for your information
YW! I hope it can help. :)
okay... this post made A LOT of sense to me... i am basically starting over, i now have like 5 or 6 that i am following!.... im only going to be following content that interest me... no more F4F. 1 converted lol
Awesome! I'm glad to hear it. :) The best (and only?) 2 ways to get followers is to create content and to leave comments. That way people can get to know you.
I was getting so much Korean content I was actually considering learning it lol glad thats gone...
