Follower counts are a force which gravitate people to the larger accounts. I have probably missed a lot of great follows simply because they had less than 100 followers. Subconsciously, I may have dismissed their opinions and thatβs not right.
Conversely, my brain wants to autofollow anyone with over (eg.5000) followers
I think follower accounts should be private for the owner of the account. Anyway, just my 2 Sats.
