The follow button is one that's an odd one here on Hive. In mainstream channels like Fakebook and others, it's crucial to have the most followers possible! I think here on Hive it helps to have good followers and ones that are going to be worth interacting with.

It annoys me when I see the posts with engagement on them but the person isn't responding back to any of it, or minimally! That's obnoxious and if I see that consistently, immediately unfollow! Lol. Don't put out the content if you aren't going to engage with people!

Congrats on the follower though, maybe you'll get another one :D
