IMAGINE my surprise when I thought that most of my followers on Steemit would be real, relevant and constructive in their criticism and perhaps provide comments of 'well done' - clearly this 'expectation' was wrong.
Thanks to a great tool developed by @pilcrow and @sjennon I was able to determine exactly which of my followers are actually 'dead' and how many have actually contributed in the form of upvotes, comments etc.
MY KINGDOM OF THE DEAD
For lack of a better word, I was somewhat disappointed to find that out of my 358 followers only 34 are legit. (This number is likely to increase after this post goes live, since I tend to gain 'followers' after each post)
In the same breath, I would like to highlight some of my most loyal followers who have contributed greatly to me - to @ramonalsamuels, @creativetruth, @synekto, @honeysim, @jasmink, @bjornb and @samiulbd - you guys are legends. I hope to gain more followers like you.
The irony though is that I will continue to fork out the content I have been writing for the last three months with the hope that I can somehow influence further Steemians in a good way and perhaps be of some service in helping some of you figure out things I am learning on a daily basis - be that in the form of bonsai or how to transfer funds and stuff.
Herewith a shot of what my results were once I made use of the tool:

Not only does this tool show you which categories your followers fall into, it also shows:
- Most loyal follower: Taken by @ramonalsamuels
- Highest upvote received: Taken by @creativetruth
- A list of top voters - there are a few.
Now, my only problem with this is that I would rather have 34 followers as opposed to the total of 358 and know that at least, those 34 followers actively engaged with me - after all, that's at least constructive.

Very interesting post. I used that app you mentioned, steemspectacles.com.
My results were surprising a s well -
So from 362 follwers, I have 18 'Active' followers. I see this mostly as an issue of time. There are so many users on Steemit and only so much time in a day. Throw in work, family, and writing posts, and many people just don't have time to get around to reading and commenting.
I know there are many people I follow who I don't engage with often, due to time limits and the sheer volume of posts on Steemit.
Thank you for your post, I definitely learned something here!

This was the most enlightening post I have read in a while! I recently read in another that only 25% of all posts are made by real people; the rest from various bots. The more I learn, the more STEEMIT looks like a long hall of self-replicating mirrors with only a few live folks here and there.
I checked your link and was equally dismayed to find my "quality" followers as: 325 - 306 - 94.
Thanks for sharing the information! I'm adding you to my follow list in the hopes of improving the quality of Steemit life.
Will

Lol seems we both went on a rant today..... Very interesting to know that there is a tool that shows us how to get such information. I kinda feel like I don't really want to know, lol. Like today I realised that someone unfollowed me and for a split second I almost felt some type of way but then I remembered that in life people come and people go. And I agree with you, id rather have small following and know that they are actively engaging with me than having one thousand "dead" or "ghost" followers. Enjoy the weekend @imagendevoz and being back a gift for me from your trip :-D

I have more than 1000 followers but most of them have never contributed in my posts. This is the irony of steem. There is also another reason. We follow a lot of people here but as so many posts are made here regularly that you cannot see everyone's post when you log in to steem. I could see your post only (after 3 days) when I checked your account. This is true for everyone.
