It's not just your quality posts; it's also about quality followers.
Those who follow back each person who follow them are most of the time, newbies, who want to fetch more and more money without doing much. They have little to no steem power and their upvotes aren't of much worth.
The one's who are well settled here have much more steam power, but they don't involve themselves in such shits. When they follow someone, it's because that person is worth following or he/she got a sexy ass (in a few cases, maybe).
So all we can conclude here is that quality matters everywhere. Bulk shitposting ain't gonna help in the long run. Over that, low-quality followers in bulk< fewer high-quality followers.
Ohh well, it seems you are worth following too. Followed. Looking for some more quality posts from you in future :)
Very good point. I wonder if there's a way to get some stats about quality followers and junk followers?!
I'll think about it..
I'll also probably should check again now after the Hardfork and if that changed anything ;)
Getting some meaningful stats might be hard. What's better is to focus on engaging more in the community and adding some value to it. Quality followers will eventually come your way. ^_^
Haven't tried this on Steemit yet. However, this worked fine over other platforms. Should work here too!
True. But I'm checking the steem API anyway while building new things for steem.. thats just a little thought besides. Providing something useful is the key!
