Hi Kelley, I've never played the follow for follow game, not even in the beginning of my Medium journey. I want to actually try to read the people I follow based on interest and hope the same for the people who follow me. As it stands, I still can't keep up with the number I follow.

I think everyone has a different strategy based on what they're trying to accomplish here. Building a following or brand for some is more important than getting their work read. Not my schtick. I would rather know the people who read my work actually have an interest in what I'm writing.
