You're officially a millennial.

Apparently so. The definition of MIllenial has actually changed to those born in 1981 all the way to 1996 i think? So i've been a millenial for a few weeks now

Congratulations on hitting 2000. Are you guestimating "actual followers" based on interaction or are you using a tool?

I use Steem Spectacles, it give a ton of useful data.

Thanks! I'll bookmark it ;)

I did like this site but it stopped working for me some time ago, some wps error or something I forget. Same for you surely?

They weren't taking care of the project for a while, but now they've started working on it again, at least enough to get it working again.

Just discovered it wasn't working because my VPN was on. Instantly works when turning it off. So it turns out I have 1542 ghost followers; slightly more real followers than I expected! - but not much more than you =P

Oh, that's a pretty nice website! Lots of stats there that I dind't even know that I needed to know ;) hehe

No, but thanks for sharing it!

It seems like this site doesn't work. Check the other one from @mountainwashere. Thanks :)

The button just keeps going in circles for me. My followers must all be in purgatory.

Hmm, I haven't used in a few months. It seems like it's not working anymore? @mountainwashere just recommended http://www.steemspectacles.com/ ;)

Useful!

That site hasn't been working for awhile. I've went back several times over the past few months and tried to have friends as well as myself use it and it just constantly loads and never displays anything.

You're right, I tried it after I read your comments here. Check the other link @moutnainswashere suggested ;)

Oh, thanks for the heads up. Yep, I just have slightly more than I thought, learned some cool info on top of that as well, haha.

I'm basing it on a time when the websites below worked. When I had about 1500 followers there were only about 400-600 active users andd less than 100 that had actually upvoted me in the last few months. That's just how it is on steemit!

good, i'm in :P

Part of the very small army, eh?

An achievement none the less ;)

I just wish there's a way to separate the bots, the "dead" followers from the active followers. I know I have more bots than followers. Just dunno how to get the actual number of followers.

Yep, reallyyyy annoying giving people an inflated sense of importance. It creates so many bloated egos, but when you think about it, everybody almost personally knows the most 'famous' users on the platform. It would be the equivalent engaging with Mark Zuckerberg on a daily basis. When the biggest users have less than 100,000 followers, and 70% of them don't actually engage in your existence... kinda puts things into perspective

You nailed it! So I'm never swayed by the numbers knowing about 90% may be bots :)

Yeah, we're seeing a lot of bloated follower numbers here on Steemit already, but I guess all social networks and content publishing website has the same problem. I often see YouTubers with millions of subscribers, but barely get 500k views on their videos, so they also suffer from some of the same issues over there.

True, I see such too. Guess it's something we'd have to live with.

Yeah, it probably is.

It would actually be pretty interesting to have the "followers" metric changed to "active followers" metric, and count the amount of people who have been active in the last 30 days or something like that!

Congrats, dude!

And, don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure out of my 1333 followers only around 50-100 are even active on the site, lol.

Haha I don't feel bad. I'm quite happy to be in a more familial community. If it ever does blow up to be something big, it'll make me more obscure and pointless heh

Then my actual number of followers is something like.. 15 maybe.

Haha yep, it's quite sad. The vast majority just follow everyone and everything, and the actual retention rate of users is spectacularly low on steemit. Most users seem to only stay up to a month or so. Ah well

Congratulations, mate. I was your 1.999th yesterday I think (after I discovered your love for Blade Runner).

Haha thanks! But now 1 or 2 people have f***ed it up. Urgh

Well done! Now you can die in peace :P

Literally the only thing I've strived for my whole life is to have 2,000 bots follow me on an obscure website. Mission accomplished

Cool...i want to be like you @mobbs.. bravooo

Work yer arse off then!

Congrats!

Thankee-sai!

Your e-penis just grew an inch longer!

Mobbs! congratulations sir :-)

Congrats with the milestone, @mobbs!

Thanks =) Slow and steady wins the race =)
