Not at all - I think a lot of new Steemers don't realise just how long established users have been blogging to build up a following, and how meaningless most of the new followers actually are - it used to be hard to get 500 followers and it meant something - now there are people who have been here a week and have 1000 followers.

But ultimately bots don't count, and all this has to be about the content you want to see and post yourself.

Keep being funny, Steemit really needs more funny!
