RE: Dear Followers: Please don't play coy. I'm bad at recognizing social signals ;-)
I think some have just been trained to think that โค๐๐๐๐๐๐๐บ๐ป๐บ๐ท๐บ๐ผ๐บ is a new language (can't wait to see how that translates on the PC) and that the only way to the top is through algorithms based on large numbers.
I'm not freaked out that people may be following me just to read. That's their option.
That said, since Steemit doesn't notify us through a system flag that someone new has followed, we must resort to being creatively proactive to be noticed.
I suspect steemd.com records when someone follows and I remember there's another app that tells us about follower activity ... but seriously, even if Steemit sent me a list, it takes a bunch of time and mental bandwidth to check up on each one!
So I seriously want to keep up with people who are seriously into conversation.
No. I don't do follow4follow. I'm following people who have made themselves interesting.
Wow O I hope you really โค words. ๐
Yup I prefer reading over video..
It all depends on my mood. But when pressed for time, I can usually read a transcript faster and retain more.
Same here.. Voracious reader.
