I decided to not do this anymore for the most part. Except I like the comment a lot or they keep supporting me a lot and I like to give back.

I still scan the tags I am interested in regular, to post there and engage with others and if their content is good I will end up on their follow list.

So far they have to be happy with an upvote, I give to most comments to keep them engaged and to get comments.

I appriacte every follow but as I stated if I follow just to be not rude they not gaining anything.
