should i remove followers that didn't/dont like my posts?

Question

so recently i started an art account from scratch. i don't want anyone i know seeing it so i started with one follower (myself). currently i have 16 followers, but only 2 or 3 of them have ever actually interacted with my posts. i always remove and block super obvious bot accounts, but some are real accounts that just don't engage. is it a good idea to do that or does it send a bad message to instagram that im deleting followers?
