Viewing a response to: @acidyo/followers
I agree with you about the importance of followers..or should I say unimportance. Too many make a big deal about getting a large number of followers. I find of the 4300 that I have, very few are regular reader/commenting on my content. I imagine the vast percentage of them are not even on STEEM anymore. I played the following game at one point and my feed was a mess. It was too much when I was following over 1000 people. I now keep it at 400 which is manageable but could use even more culling. I think the communities upgrade will alter things greatly. My view is there is going to be the establishment of interaction based upon likes. Then we will see people interacting with each other on a much more personal level. I do not even pay attention to the number of followers one has. For example, I could not tell you whether you have 500 or 50,000 followers...I didnt even pay attention so I have no clue. There are other metrics like reputation although that can be gamed too. So I just look at the quality of the posts and if it interests me, I click on it.

@taskmaster I could write genuine and decent comments on almost all of your posts. To be honest the reason that I donβt is that it feels luke spamming. The same goes for @tarazkp! Both of you were my biggest income in my early days on the platform! Thanks for creating a great interaction platform. We only have to use it! So if I dont comment on one of your next posts it is not that I am not interested but because I donβt want to spam you guys!

I never look at a quality comment as spam @fullcoverbetting. This site needs a lot more commenting. Genuine comments are like gold to those who write posts. Go to any post and you will see the great post...nice article...etc... There are only a handful of genuine ones that even apply to the topic let alone can start a discussion.

Thx I will keep this in mind next time. But for the moment almost all my time is spend on administrating my steem world cup contest! Feel free to join. It only takes 5 minutes, its free and there are no upvote, resteem or follow requirements! It would consider it an honor if one of the most respected Steemians would participate!

I was just considering what to post about early today and this topic stood out for me. I follow a small section of the accounts that follow mine. In the early days of Twitter, I used to follow back everyone that followed me. This gave me a number of dormant/useless accounts and I learned from that. On Steemit, I have a core group of people who create interesting posts and leave thoughtful comments. I usually ask a question at the end to spark discussion and a call to action as well. Anyone who leaves a real comment gets a response from me, and an upvote if I have enough VP. I do believe there is something to be said for "social proof." Working in retail, one thing we learned was that shoppers are more likely to purchase something if the shelves are full and they see other shoppers browsing as well. The best thing we can do to support Steemit is to: create engaging content, and interact like the real people that we are.
