RE: Statistics show that this post will most likely not get over 20 views in total... Should I expect more when having over 450 followers or not?
LOL this is an awesome post. See, I am ALSO rep 56, but only with 326 followers. Some of my posts get a lot of reads, but most don't! I do believe however that at least one person read my post, each time- a different person.
On this other not as cool social network (facebook) I have 5000 connections. I can post any literal type of garbage and a bunch of people will like it, (meme, one photo, one liner) only because the person who wrote it.
I think that you also need to think about where your followers are coming from. For me, I get some of my followers because I commented something, or a specific type of post I wrote strongly resonated with them, or I entered a contest, or the views come from friends I engage with regularly. I am legitimately following you, because I probably liked something you wrote in the past, but I do want to let you know...
Steemit isn't all bots, there are people that still read posts! c:
Thank you for taking the time to click on this post, read it and leave this comment! Oh and thanks for upvoting as well ;)
But you read my post! And now I’m following you back ;)
And yes, you are right when it comes to what you post, when you post, where you’re followers came from. I do feel Steemit could do a better job at how the feeds are build to not have good posts drown almost as soon as they get posted.
Sweet! Thanks @valderrama, communitcation is key :3
If a post is super interesting, I want to give my take on it. It's a bad habit for many new Steemians to comment or vote something they didn't even read. That does make sense, I feel that some posts can get very buried, especially from new users with a limited track record. Maybe it's time to be using that "new" tab more, the probability of finding something buried I feel, goes up if you can catch it right when it's posted.
I mean obviously there are too many posts, but every effort does count. I feel like having more people look at it regularly will help catch a lot of great content :D Thank you for following me too yay! <3
