Keeping VP up is hard for me too. I don't like giving dustvotes on comments, so they are usually upvoted at 100%, killing my VP quickly.

That's amazing that you go through your followers list like that - you're doing a great job! Thanks for your comment! I see you have some @ginabot info already, but I'll tell you a little more. She's a discord bot that will send you notifications of upvotes, mentions, resteems, comments, and you can even be notified when your favorite bloggers make a post among other services - and free too. I highly recommend! If you have any other questions about her, just ask. :)
