I see where you are coming from. I have just learned that to gain a following you usually follow back when someone follows. it's like a handshake. It's true though I have noticed the big whales follow very few. I just never view that following too many people hurts the chances of being followed or upvoted by the Dolphins or Whales. Interesting view though. I will need to research this to see if its accurate. thank you Patrice for the information.
