Yeah, just like the title says, I got a new follower today. I was pretty stoked!

So I went to check them out

You know, as you are wont to do when someone follows you. You figure that if they like your stuff enough to follow you, there's a good chance you share the same interests. At least some of them. Either way, you are curious about who would want to follow you. Right?

I can't handle the feed I have. I can't imagine the feed on over 4000 accounts. Even if only 5% are active, that's way too many posts to read.

At first, I thought, This dude's crazy if he thinks that's the way to do Hive.

But then I noticed the 209 followers. Since starting in June. I guess it does work.

Oh, but then I checked his posts and saw very little engagement. Even when people commented, he rarely responded and if he did, it was very brief.

So, to make a long story short, I decided I wasn't going to follow back.
