All I know is when I had 3000 twitter followers, I went thru them all and most were inactive. The few that were still around never interacted or gave retweets.

My profile under my steemit name says it all. That is what I do / post. If people are not interested in that content, why follow? If you are interested in that content, why not upvote periodically?

So what I have tried to do is scale back who I follow so I can generously dole out upvotes to a more select few. If we all did this that might build a stronger community.
