Query:
And this is in all sincerity. I left the bird site in 2018, and never used it much before that.
What is the value of a “follow”? Why is the # of followers so important?
I understand if you’re doing marketing, or selling stuff. But why for normal people?
It doesn’t make sense to me.
When I walk into a bookstore, I pay zero attention to the best seller shelf. I ignore the loud flashy covers. Yes I enjoy discovery. But I do that by reading, or asking staff.
Validation.

As strange and weird as it may be, the beginning of this video captures the concept pretty well. Right up until the purple puppet says “Fuck your head and the neck it rode in on!”
At that point it starts to get less topical to our conversation, lol.
(But it is a VERY funny video. And aggressively Australian)
