This is a pretty empty and pointless approach to gaining new followers. If someone follows you for the simple reason that you followed them, then they are highly unlikely to be the type of follower who then votes on your content. I’d be quite certain that these types of followers will never vote on a single piece of your work.

The most effective way to gain quality followers (people who will actually comment and vote on your content) are the followers you gain through networking and the people who inadvertently discover your content.

The “follow 4 follow” and method described in this post are quite simply rubbish in terms of gaining a good quality and engaged group of followers.

Why, you ask? Consider this; if you have just followed 100 accounts. Then what will your feed look like? It will be a disaster. You will never keep up with the incoming posts on your feed. And most Steemit users really only look at their feed. So if you have followed a few thousand accounts in a lame attempt to get a couple of hundred followers then you’ve just destroyed your feed. And all these people who have followed you in return quite probably have followed way too many accounts as well.

Take a look at how many people I follow. It’s not many. And I very comfortably keep up with my feed. Soon, I’ll cull the number of accounts that I follow to less than 100. But that’s because many accounts are no longer active.

If I check your account and see that you have followed a ridiculous number of accounts then there is zero chance that I will drop a vote on your post.
