RE: How To Fix Steemit For Communities & Viral Engagement
You can follow 5000 people in the hope that even if 1/10 of them check their followings and reciprocate, you get 500 followers back.
The uniqueness aspect I proposed defeats this.
But following is not a "state". It's in flux. I click the button now and I'm following you and then click it and unfollow you. And then click it again and I'm following you.
So in the scenario above, I get 500 reciprocal followers and then unfollow the other 4500 which didn't follow me back... lol?
No problem. All this just get muted by the fact that everyone that follows everyone are no longer unique follows and thus deweighted relatively.
