Let me start off with pinning the definition of the word follower:
As far as I'm involved, the number of followers is not just a number.
I value each one of my followers just because I believe they are people who admire me and find value in reading what I have to say.
When I think of my followers, I do not think they are people with the easy click.
I do not think they are people who are trying to grab my attention by following me, hoping that I'll be following them back. Does that game even exist anymore? Well if it does, it doesn't work.
I don't do it, I won't follow you if I don't find what you write interesting.
So, I would not want you to do it with me.
I'd rather have 10 curious and engaged followers than 300 ghost followers.
300 followers yet the only ones reading my posts and interacting by either upvoting resteeming or commenting, are always the same 15/20 people.
Let me be clear:
If you followed me just because you were hoping I'd follow you back, then you were wrong. You can unfollow me.
If you followed me because you think I could bring value, do not be passive, don't be shy!

I made this post recently "Join me in creating a Steemit Bible of Tips for New Members"
If you like me as a content creator, then show some positivity, show me some appreciation!
Contribute by leaving a tip in the comments of that post!
Steemit is an overgrowing platform, within the 5,000 best sites in the whole Globe. This means it's grabbing people's attention and there are many new users coming in every day. Let's help them.
In conclusion I just want to say that I'm not wining about anything, in fact I'm encouraging you to unfollow me.
To my loyal followers, thank you for your support. I really much appreciate it!
