Unfortunately I agree. I joined steemfollower which I thought was a good idea at first. But then I found that most posts on the front stay on the front almost forever, because they are possibly the oldest members, so the members with the most votes.
I tried to track my post, I would sometimes find it after navigating 10 pages or more. This means that my visibility is very low because my votes are not enough, which creates the same problem we have on steemit for newbies.
Also, I am not sure the followers we get do any effort to really follow. I know I can't keep up with all the followers I followed, which makes me feel bad. At the same time, I don't want to unfollow them in case the number of follower helps them somehow.
I find a lot of people celebrating the number of followers they get, but how good is that if those followers are not actually actively following anything we post?
Of course, I have some that follow me regularly, but they can be counted on both hands.

Having said that, I appreciate all those who decided to follow me even if they don't visit regularly, since I know how hard it is to keep up with everything we want to do in the time we have.

Many thanks to @rkrijgsman, @mahdiyari and all steemians for their efforts to make steemit a better place.
Love :)
