You are free to make your own judgement, I am just empowering you with information.
How this technique works
1. Follow thousands of people in hope that they will follow back in return
2. Some people do follow back (in-fact a lot do!)
3. After a few days or weeks simply unfollow all users you had followed
This makes their followers numbers more than following and to a newbie user visiting the profile, it seems that these are really popular users.
Steemit is very different from the typical Social Networks and we all know it. With this report, I am not trying to point any fingers and you may have legitimate reasons to unfollow people in thousands! I am just trying to bring more transparency in the platform. The aim is to make aware and discourage people from using such practices which otherwise work perfectly on other closed Social Platforms!

Ok, wow !!! For the first one I mean......!!!
I'm unfollowing now so I thought I would check haha! Every now and then, same as facebook, I 'get rid of' people I never interact or that they are inactive for more than say 4 months or more. I didn't expect these numbers here to be honest!!!
Thanks @meanmommy33 . These are just the tip of the iceberg..I have seen much worse..35,000 in 1 day!
Oh. My. God. ....... then my decrease of the meagre number of around 35 I guess it's ok (and that, once every 2-3 months or something hehe) ;) I'm in the safe yayyy!!!
Everything is ok..If done with the right intention :)
Very interesting your post, I think your post encourage me.
I wish you more followers and friends!Don't forget to follow me and upvote me too @youthhunger so that we can be friend forever.
haha there were apps on twitter you could mass follow and mass unfollow those who didn't like back, this platform seems to be inudated by bots, they actually seem to be encouraged no? I just had one with bot in the name pay me cause I upvoted it's comment on my page. I don't think this platform cares.
