RE: Who are your FAKE FOLLOWERS?
Hi @jbp and thank you from all Steemians who are concerned about the "fake follower" issue. I may have misunderstood your post on this subject. Are you offering to analyze the follower list of any Steemian on request? If so, is that a free service or are you charging Steem$ ? I've just discovered your "fake follower" blog today, 10-10-17, and I'm very interested. Please reply. Thank you.
Hi Sarah
Yes, I offer to analyze your fake followers for free. Would you like to analyze your followers?
Regards
@jbp
@jbp - Not just yet. I'm much too small, and I've actually communicated with most of them. (That's how small I am.) But if my blog ever grows (that is to say, if I ever formally "introduce myself" and actually write something), when the number of followers begins to seem unrealistic or unlikely, that will probably be the time to do an analysis. Until then, I think it's excellent that you offer your service because we just want to "keep it real." God bless you, dear @jbp.
@jbp - Hi, "J,"
We had this conversation only a few days ago, and I've just changed my mind. I thought a follower analysis wouldn't be needed until the number of followers is worthy of analysis. But because I'm always curious about what prompts the decision to follow or un-follow, it occurred to me that an analysis might be useful right now. My list is so small that I notice when the number changes. I check the list and read the new profile. If there seems to be no clear connection between my content and the decision to follow, I think about that. So my question is this. Are there follower bots that regularly scan the Steemit community and automatically link to new or smaller accounts?
And I had another thought. I really appreciate your service and the service provided by @shaunmza who offers an instant data graph of followers, also at no charge. Perhaps the two of you could collaborate on 1) adding a voluntary follower survey which would identify specific reasons for the decision to follow or un-follow a certain blogger; and 2) adding a program component which would somehow compensate both of you in SP each time your free service is utilized. (That might be a challenge.)
If the survey suggestion interests you, I'd be willing to write my questions, and other bloggers might do the same. So let me know your thoughts. Even as a very small account, I am now concerned about fake followers and would like it very much if you would do the analysis. Thank you @jbp.
