Well thats an interesting question. The first 8 months i didnt come on steemit nor really check i posted once a year a go and backed off. And the followers ive begun to gain are just that they are supportive not just a bunch of names on a list. Thank you for the congrat. Please dont take this the wrong way but id much rather have 200 or 300 serious followers that actually communicate with me, over 10000 followers that i dont talk back and forth with.
