I'm not getting banned! · 9:42pm Apr 17th, 2015
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.
Also, I was going to make this a surprise but, on June 30, 2015 I will have been conducting this experiment for a full year. At that time I will declare my experiment done, and will no longer follow people even if I haven't reached my goals. Now I won't completely disappear, I'll merely just convert this into a blog account. I won't be posting any stories though since having over 700 followers when posting a first story is kinda unfair and would most likely result in an instant featured.
Any way, the battle is won. Now let us continue on this long journey of followers.
Gearsy, out.
dude, as a warning, you saw what happened to A Follower, don't do this
I am most likely that 70.85%.
I'm glad to hear that you will be able to finish your experiment! Will you link the final results here once you are done?
Funny, I thought he felt that way about me, too . . . .
Huh, congratulations about your experiment.
Well, it's good to see the experiment's still on. I'll check in every now and then to see how you're doing. Good luck, friend.

We had a very long conversation and determined that I was okay to keep doing what I do as long as I stay below the limit of how many people I can follow per week.
Awesome! I'm glad you went forward and got permission, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to comment on the voting blog. I saw it, but was busy that day. If you post them, I look forward to seeing your results. Anyway, good luck! -Justin
