Haha this is Steemit. People are free to do whatever they want. I don't mind adding people and if I have 1000 following and 100 followers that's fine by me. People may think I'm trying to do like for like, but that just means I've found 1000 people who at one point provided something I enjoyed reading!
I also purge on a daily basis as well. If you're just spamming other people's content with no thought or input. UNFOLLOW!
Good point/good advice.
I will keep that in mind as I move forwards and evolve into a real "Blogger".
