RE: The Psychology of the Steem Follower
I follow people because It's either they post important things or they are important people. They can also be steemians who post interesting things. I try not to follow everyone because I still want to enjoy my feed
If im looking for fresh content I either check discord post promotion posts, or Steemit trending or other Steem platforms.
I rarely follow someone because of their SP, I used to do that in the beginning to hope for some upvotes but that has changed after joining great communities such as @thesteemengine ...
If I see someone who engages with his followers even if he doesn't upvote them but at least acknowledges their comments then I respect them more than others who just post and wait for the comments and upvotes
Thanks for sharing @slobberchops
Thanks for your comments @lifeaef, I too have found some good stuff on @thesteemengine. That is probably where I find most of my new content now, but I look at the new section too and the introduce articles too. Sometimes you find someone good on there who has got something to say.
