Notes:
The following accounts were removed from the report as they appear to be gaming the system with fake followers:
@freedomnow
@steemitmarket
Those are some very interesting numbers. Shows that there is a very rapid rate of social interactivity if the number of followers per user is increasing that quickly.
10 followers is a somewhat arbitrary number I picked which to me indicates they have more than just a couple friends following them, meaning they hopefully actually create some worthwhile content.
Can we get a recount? I think I saw some hanging chads!
It's very possible. This code is a bit kludgy. You appear to moving up the ranks pretty quickly. Well done!
Thanks! I had a good week. I saw the numbers and thought some chads musta been hanging somewhere.

I think this is very important information I think I will reference this post in my weekly report tomorrow Thanks for all your work here @lukesstokes
Thank you!
So clooose...
SUPER close... you have some great follower growth as well at 28%.
Awwww ....well maybe next time :P
Nooooo! I was so close! I need to write more.... maybe a vlog? :p
You did gain 27 new followers, but moved down 13 spots. The competition is getting intense. I think it's all about putting out consistently great content.
Maybe you can do a top 200 instead?:p
woohoo!
Holding strong in 32nd place! :)
Some day I'll get there :/ lol
You've got a little ways to go, but considering there are thousand and thousands of accounts out there trying to get attention, you're not doing bad at all with 18% growth.
I do have a ways to go . Yes, things should start to pick up.
Cool, I didnt know I was in the top 100.. thanks for the info!
Looks like you just made it! :)
Great that you have allready found @freedomnow ( I have the feeling that in this account all 803 followers are just his/ her upvote- downvote bots ). After this article below I was yeasterday on the hunt.

Yeah... frustrating that people would put so much time and energy into stuff like this that just decreases the value of Steemit for everyone else. It's sad really.
I have bought from @steemitmarket, it became just interesting, for the sake of a trick.lukestokes, if I buy on your account? you will be on the second place how you will consider? I don't want to do much harm, but it is necessary to be ready, suddenly then someone will want to do much harm.
"for the sake of a trick"? If you could devalue and destroy something "for the sake of a trick," would you do it? Please, ask yourself a simple question "If everyone else did this, would it help or hurt the network?" More on that here, if interested. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
I love steemit.i have done much harm to nobody. but beginners can't grow up even with very good posts here (not as mine). whales like only
each other
(replying here due to nesting)
What you're saying is simply untrue. You wrote all of two posts before paying someone to artificially inflate your follower counts and upvote your posts. You harm the entire network by exploiting it and artificially manipulating systems that are meant to reward curators and content creators based on value to the network. If you consistently provide great content and build your own following naturally, you can earn value here. You made a mistake.
why do not you say something that whales use bots for upvoting other whales, and do not even read the posts? this is normal?
Hopefully this marketplace will go away as rational actors realize it's destructive to the ecosystem.
