Hi there! Coincidentally I followed you the other day.

I generally follow people who I find have written good reviews or forum posts. It is my way of curating the most engaging people and content on EF.

I have been participating on EF for about ten years, with breaks here and there.
In the early days it seemed there was more enthusiasm and I had lots more new followers. There have been some changes in policy and things on the platform and some people got discouraged and left. I honestly can't remember what the spats were about.. I'm sure you could google it and find some disgruntled rants- as there are always those about everything.

That said, I wouldn't waste your time.
Just engage, think, write and participate. Follow people who you find provide valuable content, rate their reviews, leave thoughtful comments or questions on their reviews and you may find they will want to follow you and read your work. If you really want to take it to the next level start a blog. I'm considering this to be able to expand on my kink interests that were hatched here.

Best,
RG
