I have more than 700 but I found out from steemitspecticles.com that 400 of them have never interacted with me. Seems like there must be a lot of data mining going on and a lot of people who follow everyone they can.
I have decided to stop putting all my effort into steemit and focus more on writing stories that are primarily shared elseware. I don't want to waste my time with posts that I hope others to see and get no views so my writing at steemit has become more for catharsis and for connecting with others than for sharing my best work.
