    Peculiar new landmark.

    Unless I'm mistaken, I just got my first follower that I didn't follow first. They are Bobthekeng2468. I was wondering if this would happen.

    I'm not getting banned!

    As much as Eldorado hates me, as long as I keep the number of people I follow under 20 per week, I can't be banned for following people.

    Also, I ended up doing a rough analysis that showed that out of everyone I've followed:

    18.32% Give me full support.
    7.71% Flat out don't like me.
    3.12% Are dead accounts.
    70.85% Don't care either way.

    A Follower was banned.

    It would appear that the user A Follower was banned for what is now called "spam following" because some users find receiving follows that they don't believe that they earned to be annoying or even insulting. The people banned for this are those that are attempting to follow everyone on Fimfiction.

    What makes me different:

To those that question why I'm following them. · 11:51am Oct 7th, 2014

I'm following people at random, in an effort to follow as many people as possible. It's also an experiment to see how many follows one can get by doing nothing but following other people.

Follow Check List
50[x]
100[x]
200[ ]
300[ ]
400[ ]
500[ ]
750[ ]
1000[ ]
1500[ ]
2000[ ]
3000[ ]
4000[ ]
5000[ ] If I get to this point I'll be the most watched person.
7500[ ]
10000[ ] If I get this many I'll add another goal.

Your a brave person to do that, so you have my follow as well, Good luck with your experiment!:pinkiehappy:

Well I love meeting new ponies

good reson to bad we can only follow 200 per day

'Tis a noble cause. Thank you very much for you decision to follow us then.:raritywink:

Good Luck with that, you have a long way to go if you want to catch up with me.

~A Follower:derpytongue2:

2525556 I have 8 more followers than you.

2525745 Technically. On this account, you have more than me.

~A Follower

Interesting experiment you got my follow and take a derp too :derpyderp2:

¿How random truly are the ponies you follow?

2533913 I'm following people as I find them. Also, no follow from you?:fluttercry:

2535370 Can I get a follow from you? I only need three more to reach 100. Also your avatar is cool. Violins are awesome.

Ahh I see now. I was really starting to question my lonely existence when I got a random follow.

Well good luck!

> “I’m following people as I find them.”

Interesting, but not truly random.

> “Also, no follow from you?:fluttercry:

I follow you now. The reason I did not follow before is the lack of content (neither blogs nor stories).

2535643 It's hard to be truly random. Also, Your follow is appreciated.

> "It's hard to be truly random."

Computerscientsts agree. Generating random numbers is something they have tried to do for over half a century, but have not cracked. Random numbers are hard.

> “Also, Your follow is appreciated.”

You are welcome. Hopefully, you will fill my feed with blogs and stories.

Looks like you have 101 now! Whoo! :yay: Thanks for the compliment, good luck with your experiment. Seems neat. :pinkiehappy:

2535896 Yet still no follow from you.

Well, apparently it's working. May I ask how you found me?

2536244 You were following SS&E

2536304
So you're starting by following all of SS&E's thousands of followers? I mean, I knew you were getting into a hell of an undertaking, but damn, you don't put off the big challenges, do you?

2536328 Well, it's not that hard.
2536321 Okay, :pinkiesad2:. I can't force you to follow me.

And I bring your count up to 130. Good luck acquiring more.
