I joined Twitter in 2011, and other social sites. I removed all of them except twitter and in 13 years I still have 600 followers even if I am an old Bitcoiner and had participated in many related projects. But they are very high quality 600 followers. And you know why? Because I use the social nets only once or twice a week and I am not obsessed at all with making followers. In fact I despite that, I don't want to become famous. Becoming a famous person would even be a liability for me.
I'd like more people to be like me in this regard, but unfortunately all I find is people obsessed with being followed and admired. For me, those people are full time slaves of their own ego. I feel sorry for them.
