FYI I only have two conditions for people I follow, if you meet these criteria I will always follow you:
1) You follow me
2) You engage with me through conversation and do so respectfully.
If anyone wants me to follow them and I dont, just send me a message and I'll be happy to if you meet the above criteria.
I do actively follow people daily, usually a good number of people. But I also routinely go through my list and unfollow people if they have been idle or get disrespectful too. So my follower count tends to stay on the lower side.
