I don't care about the amount of followers.
Some followers interact with me. The vast majority of followers that I have lurk and do nothing. Some regularly like my content, but never say anything to me. Then there is a couple creepy stalkers I wish I could eliminate from being able to follow me all together too.
When it boils down to it there is a small group of people who I genuinely enjoy talking to everyday. I do my best to provide content daily that is zap worthy and I always appreciate them. I tried doing this as my dedicated job, but the amount of overall Nostr users is not there yet. So for now I just try my best to be myself and hope that people find value in me. I am more here for the overall quality of the conversations and developing connections with real people more than anything.
