I've finally done it! I've hit 500 followers, and, more importantly, I did it without following a single person.
I see these posts pop up all the time, and when you look at the poster's profile you see they've followed 5000 people. It's trivially easy to get 500 followers when you follow everyone on steemit.
I've done it the hard way. I've done it by constantly staying on top of my profile, posting every. single. day. Constantly searching for the best content, as well as occasionally creating my own. I've done it the hard way because I care about my followers. I spend every night writing comments on every. single. one. of my followers posts. Many of you reading this know this already. I care about you all, and I think you all recognize that and I thank you all for allowing me a glimpse into your life.
I'd like to thank all of my regular commenters and voters, in particular @fitinfun @coininstant @longshot @pandorasbox @bigbear @woodywood143 @patricksanlin @honusurf @kdtkaren @sunscape @thethreehugs @taskmaster4450 @saffisara. I'm sure I'm forgetting names, and I apologize if that's the case. I may not always respond to your comments, but I appreciate you coming back.
Finally, I will give 1 SBD to everyone who resteems this post in order to celebrate the occasion! I may not have the SBD to pay you right now, but I promise you, you will eventually receive your SBD (as you can see I've been saving up SBD for some time now for this occasion). Just leave a comment here that you resteemed, and after I've verified it on your feed, I'll add your user name to my list of IOUs!
It's been a fantastic journey thus far! Here's to the next 500!

well done mate, not following anybody at all and bragging about it comes across as a bit selfish though, like you're really not interested in what anyone else has to say unless it's about your own posts.. It's your feed but I would recommend that perhaps you follow a few people who have similar interests to you. its really good to be part of a community. no offence intended, just an observation.

congratulations. And good job for the hard work. But I don't think You should be that proud for not following anyone. I think it is important for You to follow People that You think are good creators and also support their grown. Don't You agree?

Very cool, congratulations! I am trying to do this "the hard way" too I guess... I do not really "get" how people game this but I DO appreciate those who do not even try. I am going through my list of people I follow and unfollowing all the ones who are not posting stuff I am actually interested in. BTW, you did not get unfollowed... lol!
