Congratulations my friend. Wishing you more success to come. When I hit 50 some weeks back, I felt like celebrity because I saw the level of success I have achieved just within a short while of about 5 months.
The followers celebration I don't really value it because one's success on the steem platform is not about having followers but having followers that are adding value to us as way of upvote or interaction.
Also there is spam followers especially when you post using the busy.org platform.
I didn't realize there was more spam attracted using Busy. I wonder why. You are the 2nd person though to say follower number isn't that meaningful because of spammers though.
Congrats to you also on making your goal of 50, and cheers to all your future goals as well. It's fun we make for ourselves and our friends to mark these little occasions. 😊 And it does require that we be actively contributing on the platform to see our rep increase, so it does mean something in and of itself.
Actually the spam followers whenever one posts on busy.org has reduced a bit. About a month ago, I discovered I will get notification of up to 20 followers immediately I make a post. I decided to visit these followers and discovered that the number of days they have being on the platform is uniform among each of them. And also all having steem power that is less than 15
