I'm genuinely confused as to why anyone would want a high number of followers just for the number.
I would much rather have people follow me who are interested in what I'm doing and who I have some kind of relationship with.
This follow for follow bs gets old quick. If you want success here go build relationships and contribute to the community. Numbers on a screen are not relationships.
Also, get over the idea that anyone owes you anything. What have you done for the community. What service do you offer?
When people tell you these things they are trying to help. They are not trying to be rude. Nobody here who is successful utilizes follow for follow. The only path to success is community building. This is how it is supposed to work, it is not broken. Go find your tribe and contribute to it.
Thanks for the post @chelsea88.
Keep Steeming!
You got the RIGHT idea here. No one owes you anything here honestly. Steemit also doesn't owe you anything. The entitlement issue IS a real issue here
majorly, I get nasty messages from new users demanding money, wtf? I worked for months on a VERY long and varied blog and did podcasts, curation to get even what most consider at my rep , not all that much in payouts , fastest way to fail is to yell and be mean to people who you don't know and demand things, wtf !!!!! lol
True dat @battleaxe
Some people are really out of line.
