Naturally, the more followers the better – at first glance. So of course most Steemers are going to try to attract more and more followers. One way they will do so it to Follow as many people as possible.
Which is all fine. But for me, I'm more concerned with creating quality content, and then if someone finds my posts interesting or informative, then they will follow me.
(I've been active on Steemit only for 2 weeks now, and that is clearly what is happening; the more decent posts I make, the more followers I attract. The numbers aren't huge, but that's fine with me.)
As many respondents have noted, too many followers might not be the ideal for everybody. I've been trying to keep track of my followers, but even after attracting a limited number of followers, I realize that it could get a bit stressful (for me, anyway) to keep up with them.
Of course, they can follow me without my interaction, but I believe it's best for Steemit if Steemers do what they can to create an interacting community. That's rather difficult to do if you have 10,000 followers. :-)
Anyway, thanks for the post, and the "How to survive" vid on YouTube. Both were quite helpful, especially since I'm only 2 weeks into the aforementioned "survival" stage.
Fortunately, I love creating the content that I'm making, and I spend over 8 hours / day doing so. And I have more and more ideas for posts, as well as series of posts.
Full Steem Ahead.
