I Realize I've Been Following Some Dead Fish...(and some that just taste bad!)

Some of you may or may not have noticed, but I keep some really odd hours. I am a firm believer in goals and accomplishing them. Sometimes, it takes a little more work than you thought. Sometimes, it takes less. As for me, when I come to 'work' each day, I have a specific set of goals I'm going to achieve. Normally, I have them written down beside my computer on a notepad to remind me. This is going to be a short post, as the primary objective of it is to say something.

Dead & Diseased Fish

When I first came here, I would follow anyone that followed me. Now, as time has passed and I've gotten more familiar and comfortable on Steemit, some things have come to my attention. One of them being is that I follow a lot of people that put just horrid content up. Posts with nothing but a picture and a link, or a meal they ate and the price, I mean damn, I can do that on Facebook or Instagram. Look at stupid ass pictures and links for shit I'm never going to visit. So, that being said, I now go to scan my list of people I'm following and weed out the #deadfish.

Strain the pasta bro. Love it!

Had to omg, was like trying to find the crossword puzzle in The National Enquireror.

yea i get it

I'm trying to avoid following anyone unless I'm actually interested in their content in the first place- definitely not following anyone just because they followed me.

I thought it was a good way to support them, you know, see what they had to offer. A way of saying thank you for following me but good god man, there are just some terrible 'creators' on here.

Ayup.

Nom.

Agree with your decision wholeheartedly! "Follow for follow" systems NEVER work... not on ANY platform. The interaction between users that simply followed one another for another "follower" is FAKE and it is in NO way sustainable. It is FAR better to create a close knit circle of people around you that engage genuinely and actually ENJOY your content.

and yes... there is way too much crap floating around.

Thank you! (wipes crap off hands)

Dear God child... go use some bloody hand wash ffs! ;)

LMAO

I'm trying to weed out alot of the people i followed when i just got here as well, my feed is a mess.

That's what prompted me too man. I was like, wtf, where is the shit I WANT to see?

That's great news. I've definitley been trying to focus on making sure I follow people that produce stuff I'm interested in. It can be a bit tough to suss people out, but the feed eventually shows you everything

You're telling me, took a good 3 hours to clean the plate of everything, but think I got a decent feed now. No nonsense.

Haha can I go poach some of your fish?

By all means, have at it man lol
