No dude, to be honest, I had not visited your page at all. When I've looked for people to follow, I've gone to the photography tag, and whoever posts things I enjoy, I follow.

I think your definition of community is different than mine, which is fine. We all have our own opinion.

I don't think I need to follow an equal or greater amount of people than the ones who follow me. I follow the profiles that I am genuinely interested in. I just took a look at your account, and to be even more honest (risking sounding rude even) I can tell, I probably wouldn't enjoy your feed too much.

Feel free to unfollow me if you feel offended man, but I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to cater to crypto guys, to fake vloggers and I'm not going to follow for follow.

I just want to create content, and have the freedom to choose what content to consume.

Simple as that!

You call that "trying to build an audience" I call your follow-per-follow strategy "trying to build a support chain" which means you're not truly curating content, you're just supporting other people so they can support you.
