I have been wondering this for quite some time now. Recently, I have noticed that whenever I post, I will suddenly get a massive influx of followers.
Not just one, or a few followers, however, sometimes as many as 40 or 50 random new followers. But the odd thing is-- no upvotes, no comments or interaction-- just deadbeat followers.
I was curious as to how many of my followers were actually following me here on steemit, so I decided to take a look for myself.
I stumbled upon this pretty cool site where you can check on things such as, most loyal followers (S/O to @nikolina), ghost followers and even dead followers. Here is the site, if you are at all interested:
http://www.steemspectacles.com
It turns out, that out of my whopping 1,222 followers on steemit, only 111 are truly following me!
1,111 of the 1,222 are considered to be--ghost followers-- which basically means they are readily active on the site, but haven't engaged with me in my last 100 posts.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this is absurd people... this place is supposed to be a COMMUNITY!!!
Also, 403 of my 1,222 trusty followers are known as dead followers. This basically means that these 403 individuals have not been active on steemit for over a month.
So there's the answer, at least for me... how many people are TRULY FOLLOWING you on steemit?
I will bet it's a lot less than you expected
Big time shout out and thank you to all of my real followers out there, you are appreciated more than you know:
