At the time of writing I have exactly 541 followers. You may not be impressed by this number but it is more than I could have ever hoped for.
There is something strange though. Although my number of followers seems to be increasing, none of them ever seems to like anything I have to say. Now, this is entireley possible. I don't pretend to put out very interesting or high quality content. But if it is indeed me who is putting out the bullshit, wouldn't you expect to get comments, downvotes and a decreasing number of followers?
This is not to say that I don't get any comments. Usually there is at least somebody offering an upvote or resteem service in exchange for steem. This sounds like a scam to me. But even if it isn't, an upvote or resteem bot? Really?? As if there isn't already enough fakery in the world.
This post is not about attrackting more followers, getting more upvotes or rewards. I chose Steemit to test out my writing skills and maybe to get a discussion going on some of the toppics I care about. This is not happening.
Keep it real Steemit or this Steemian will be checking out real soon!
