Hi Alla this is so true.
When I first joined about middle last year I started following everyone that followed me and my feed quickly became really spammy and lots of junk popped up.
A few months back I went on a big spring clean and unfollowed most people and must say it looks a whole lot better now.
My account is still relatively small with only about 400 followers and a friend of mine has more than a 1000 followers.
With all the extra followers he is not getting much more views or votes than me, so yeah followers does not matter much.
Anyways have a lovely day.
