Comment here with why people should follow you, lets get this follow train going!
I previously made a thread about myself titled:
What to expect as a follower of "#TheDashGuy"; Whats my goal on Steemit? What do I want to write about? What subjects am I knowledgable in?
But that got me thinking, why doesn't everyone do something like this seeing as we don't have a sort of "bio" or about me section as you find on most social media websites.. but making these kinds of posts take planning, effort, and alot of thought because who wants to post 4 sentences as a full article honestly? I know some people have already done a post of this type but most people have nowhere to just write a brief description about what they plan to blog about on Steemit without coming off as spammy...
So I thought why not just start a "What to expect from me" megathread? Post as much as you'd like, or write your own post and link it here!
This way 4 sentences is acceptable, we can all basically say "Hey, I'm TheDashGuy, I live in Washington and I plan to be posting about legal cannabis, web design, crypto currencies (Bitcoin/Dash/Steem) & overall just hanging out." and so on, this way we have an area where 4 sentences is acceptable, or if you choose you can go all out and write 4 paragraphs for us, make a post about it, then just drop the link here! Whatever floats your boat.
We could even get a hashtag similar to #introduceyourself going and just make it something like #usersummary or whatever as well to organize this stuff!
Looking forward to seeing everyones "brief descriptions" and/or long posts about their #Steemit future, I need more people to follow! (and more followers!) I bet we have alot more variety around here than we expect already...
Oh and if you are curious about Steemit related stats, I've found some useful posts lately:

ps. I'll do a better intro in a comment, like everyone else lol :D
Love the idea. I'm here with my wife and my father and trying to drag in first the kids and then the whole clan. I write about AI and programming, the wife about bees and being a nurse practitioner. We both follow anyone who follows us so if you need more eyes . . . .
AI and programming?! My cup of tea! Followed!
I already follow you . . . . :-)
What do you normally program in? Have you done any AI programming? I'll be recruiting for small tasks shortly. Would you have any interest?
I've mostly been doing web dev and mobile and embedded. But I've been intrigued with all the posts about Watson API with Python. Haven't had formal training, but trying to learn. Know any good references?
Wow thats awesome! I have also gotten a few family members in but that are a little less tech savvy and/or don't have much time to become writers haha. Totally following you guys!
Now following you as well.
Much appreciated!
Hey everyone! I've been here on Steemit for about 4 weeks now. Mostly write about cryptos, the occasional news, funny meme, and about my web apps and tools for Steemit!
Will definitely check you out bro! Followed! Looking forward to any and all web apps related to Steem :D
Thanks! I've quite a few from these two weeks.. in case you've missed them, here's my blog: https://steemit.com/@bitcoiner
Fellow steemsters might like to follow me if they have interest in yoga - (I am a teacher), spirituality, philosophy, music - (I am a song-writer), poetry, guitars, science, home-grown remedies, clean food, recipes, cooking, entrepreneurial endeavours and blockchain games; of which I am launching a not to be missed, kick ass game tomorrow at 1:11 GMT, which I am seriously excited about. I hope you can join me :)
I thought I had already followed you, but all is fixed now :D
Thanks @thedashguy, following you too :)
Hey, I'm @freewill.
I'm a musician, writer, and small business owner. I also have a degree in Psychology. I plan to post my original poems like this one, stories, music and thoughts on Psychological theories (both my reflections on other people's theories like this and ones I've come up with like this one).
I also I plan to be posting about my life... I've renovated 2 houses in Italy, a couple of boats in England, lived on a houseboat for 4 years, and enjoyed my life!
I suspect I'll probable get in to my thoughts on cryptocurrency and philosphy & whatever else pops in to my head at some point too : )
Sounds like a wonderful topic combo to me! Will definitely toss you a follow!
thanks @thedashguy! I always return the favour : )
Thank you! :D

Please follow me, I'm Denis and I am Lisk Country Ambassabor in Russia. I'm planning to support #lisk channels here as well as providing some new content.
Nice one - followed!
Don't follow me!
Follow people with very few followers and upvote their content.
I don't follow you but I do read much of your stuff. Don't follow me, I'm fheman. And all my good stuff is in comments, not posts.
heh, pretty much.
So what you are telling me is you plan on following everyone here right? :p
Like many here I'm sure, I follow my fair share of underprivileged (or formerly) accounts that produce quality material. I doubt I will ever follow more than 70 accounts though and will likely stop following several popular accounts to reach that number. I'm going to see those accounts posts in the trending section most every time they post anyway. No need to follow those types of accounts.
Meh if you spend 4+ hours a day on Steemit, one can manage 200-300 followings I bet :p
I also think voting power dissipates too quickly, so hopefully that gets looked at one day.
And there's that too. We can only upvote so many people per day without draining our voting power. My method is to follow 50-70 accounts, upvote the posts I like in my feed and then head over to "new" and try to discover some new accounts posting good material. If they repeatedly post good stuff, I'll give them a follow.
We all have our methods I guess. I haven't really changed how I upvote from what worked prior to v8.4 when only the bot wang out curated this account (meaning we were the two biggest losers in the decision not to go with v8.2).
I'm not sure how not changing the method has worked out, but at this point I'm not really looking for curation rewards. I could never make another dime on Steemit and be very happy with the results prior to 7/4. I continue to upvote what I like.
Speaking of that, @business has recently stepped up his Steem-game and is posting some good stuff that I think others will appreciate. He's definitely worth a blip on your follow radar.
Does 71 followers count as few? If so, follow me!... Although it seems you're already a follower haha.. tho I wouldn't mind some more upvotes ;)
Please follow me -- I'm under-privileged and trying to work my way up (and trying to work my reputation back up after an ignorant mistake in one post (my second) knocked my reputation all the way down to 1.
And, if you won't follow me, please follow my wife @jwaser. She's just started and has a lot more coming . . . .
followed! P please return the favour if you like my stuff @freewill
I haven't! Perhaps you'd be kind enough to return the favour and follow me?!
I'll follow you. Like what you post if you want feel free to follow back @ian.wash
Hey, I'm TheDashGuy, I live in Washington and I plan to be posting about legal cannabis, web design, crypto currencies (Bitcoin/Dash/Steem) & overall just hanging out... but beyond all that basic stuff I also like sports. Mostly just Basketball & Football like everyone else lol. I've been known to play some ultimate frisbee or soccer here and there. I am the oldest of 5 siblings, just became an uncle about 5 days ago, and I was adopted at the age of 15 by a friends family. I have spent the last year or so working on projects in the Dash ecosystem and I hope to bring that same value to Steem as well. I won't go into too much detail as this post is about everyone else but yea thats me in a nutshell. I have narrowed down my writing ideas to a few subjects mainly but I might write about a random thing from my life from time to time as well.
Is that Washington State or Washington, DC? I'm in Northern Virginia . . . .
Washington State, my bad lol I always write about how I'm from Seattle etc so I just made the assumption it was known, I keep forgetting how fast we keep growing.... it's crazy!
Why follow me?
Maybe because I'm a creative person by nature, restless and always finding new ways to express feelings, emotions, and thoughts...
Cheers!
Edit: @mark-waser asked for a little bit more.... maybe this? ;)
Now following you. You should have put a longer comment here. I only followed you because I am taking the time to actually go to blogs and seeing what is there (and then following about 1/3rd of the people posting her).
Sometimes less is more, sometimes when you see something but you don't see the full of it, usually it makes it better. For example, sometimes a woman is sexier with lingerie than with it ;)
Looks like if you read it, spike your interest (uhhh i'm sexy!) and you're following, I guess my comment and strategy paid off ;)
Cheers!
cool video! I've followed you, please consider returning the favour : )
