Do you still read those people you are up voting on?

I’m still doing manuel voting, sure I have some favorites I rather vote on more often. But I still want to read posts from people who I don’t know and which are new to the platform. Unfortunately i don’t have all that time to read either.

I still don’t care about squeezing out as much of this platform as possible, but frankly speaking.. maybe I will do this too. At the end of the day we are all just Egoist, fair enough!

Yes, I try to read the posts from all people I autovote. Of course, that is not always possible. And that's why I love this system so much because I can game it like a browser game. Although I don't think this is egoistic at all. I support a whole lot of people and never miss any of their posts. It is like Patreon but better because I don't have to pay for it with my money. If I would like to squeeze as much as possible I would just delegate my Steem Power to a voting bot.

Wise words as always. I have to say, I made the same mistake. I'm following too many people, It was nice I read it in your post since I have you as an" steemit mentor".
Always sharing info, leading us to made our best effort here. Thanks!.

Thanks for sharing these awesome tools for us to use to improve our journey here on steemit.
I really love your tips because I'm always looking how I can improve and keep on growing here on this platform

Really sturdy advice! 'Taking your steemit experience to the next level' i am thinking this would drastically change my steemit experience. And, being a plankton, it would be an efficient way to grow my account. I have also been meaning to tidy up my follow list. I too followed everyone at first. Thanks for sharing 😊🤹‍♂️

howdy there @flauwy and thanks for another educational and informative post which can help so many of us and thanks for being a great role model!

I follow everyone I see who makes a good comment everywhere I see them. I have been doing this since I got here one year ago. Now I follow 4200 and 5000 follow me.

I do this because this is my policy on all social media since I've been pushing my natural weight loss methods for the last 8 years or so. If we are talking about people in the US, 40% of them are obese and therefore in my target audience - I want all the fat people I can find to hear my message and on platform I post to. If I do not follow them, they will not follow me.

Unlike other platforms I use, I have never looked at my steemit feed in the entire year. As you say - it's useless. I find posts to read when I need to by using steemnow, which I keep open 24/7. I have it set how I like it and and might visit 10 posts a day for any reason. This is how I just found your post because your title interested me.

I also use an auto-upvoter - steemdunk. I can only have 20 people on it that is enough for me. I check it every couple of days and visit some of the posts I upvoted. Someone warned me not to use the one you are using for some reason months ago so I did not go on it. If steemdunk ever fails me, I might try, but so far so good. I do not think my vote will ever be big enough to need to slice it really small.

I could not stand the pressure when trying to keep up with my 20 friends manually. I have a few people not on the upvoter that I do vote frequently, but other than that, I can vote for a lot of comments and a few posts at random. It is just amazing the idiotic skills you have to develop to work here, but I keep trying anyway.

The more interesting point to me is that after a year of vigorous following activity, I have only found 4200 steemers to follow. Supposedly 60K are active here so to speak. Maybe 55K of them never make comments.

Thank you for this... I am going to sweep right now.

“One of the biggest mistakes I have done when I was new on Steemit was to follow way too many people.”

Don’t worry dude, I think we all did this in the beginning (:

This is exactly the way I have been operating my Steem experience. Great minds think alike I suppose ;)
