SHARE THIS AND MAKE PEOPLE AWARE!

It was fine a couple hours ago, I always follow double or more the amount of people that follow me. @thecryptofiend said the same thing today and he lost 90% of his followers. I came on to check a message, saw his post, checked my page, it is true, look below! Even the Steemwhales.com which is out of date for the "followed" column shows me at around 200, and same with steemdb.com and another account shows me around 320 followed.

See the below 2nd chart!!

Are you having this issue? Many of us have worked super hard to find good people we like to support and engage! I hope this can be fixed!!!!

If this glitch has you now off my list, I am sorry! I didn't do it! I blame Big Government! lol!! Let me know! Let me know if I am off your lists etc also!!


Check as soon as you can for sure! Lots of people saying the same thing. @thecryptofiend has an open ticket on GitHub for this, so I am directing people to him there ---- post your name and issues and blog posts and screenshots etc etc ---

Possible fix may be to LOGOUT of your steemit account and log back in - it is unsure if that is a complete fix, or just a screen refresh at this point

So far I have not been at a pc today to really check the numbers since more life problems keep hitting this year. But I've been on esteem and as far as I can see the numbers still look correct for me.

your right 10% are now followed on the PC

Yup. I was following over 300. Now it says 24.

When I look at your blog, it tells me you are following 290.

Ty for the input - here is what I see for you

Yeah, that sounds about right.... though I did just hit the 65 rep seconds ago.

I think it's dropping the most significant digit... <sigh>

When I visit my "invisible" followees, however, the page header still has a reassuring "Unfollow" button on top...

Let's give the Steemit pantheon a chance to rectify this...

Thank You, Barry, for bringing it to the community's attention! ;)

TY for the input, and I JUST followed you sir. Here is what I see on your page

BTW, Thank You, @barrydutton, for "following" me, and Welcome to my blog.

I look forward to interacting with you in the "Reply/Comment" sections of any articles you find interesting! :) I maintain a link to the most current Table of Contents in the top-middle of my banner... ;)

Interesting... perhaps the bug only exists when the owner is viewing their own page? ;)

What I see is "49 following"...

May well be the case. Also SteemDB shows the right number - the snapshot is only a few minutes old so it suggests the blockchain is correct and this is a display issue.

... Had to reply here, re yes, if others look at our pages, it seems OK, if we look at our own, still the problem. I still blame the government lol

It' s the NSA or GCHQ meddling!

Here is what I see for you CF:

Cool. So other people see it right.

and FYI, when I hover over your profile name, it gives me the UNFOLLOW option so you were not dumped from my list. Hopefully I stay on yours lol

Don't worry. I only unfollow people when they leave or if they turn into trolls.

That's encouraging... Thanks, @thecryptofiend, for looking at the database and chiming in! :)

BTW, another (probably related) symptom is that in some cases, when I'm looking at a Reply/Comment of someone who I follow, it doesn't reflect the fact that I'm following them. However, when I go to their Blog page, it does indicate me as a follower by displaying an "Unfollow" button.

Interesting. If it keeps happening it might be useful to add it to github. Anyway I'm going to go to bed now as it is nearly 2 am!

I edited that slightly, due to the Steemit post editor fighting me... ;)

TY very much, that is (more) accurate - everyone seems to be having the same issues, to the T.

P.S. I see alternate versions of my own page at times - seems to do a "quick flip" from the real number to something about 200 less... :0

Yes man, just checked and found I have only 69 followers when I had around 180!

Wow! Thanks, I checked again and you are right! When I made this comment it was way down to just 69!
I guess the tweaking is still on.

Mine looks OK but I haven't been getting any notifications all day!

That lack of notif's has been happening lately for all of us -- and here and there before that

I also tried to go on chat and it wouldn't recognize my password and didn't send me a new one!

and I noticed the 2 RS of my blog posts today so TY for that very much!!! Always sincerely appreciated.

TY for the input and here's what I see on your page brother
