Does it make sense that by Kardashian-index, to have 10,000 twitter followers and *not* be a Kardashian, you need to have 150,000 citations to your pubs?

As confirmed by the author at the time, it wasn't meant to be serious. Though admittedly an ill conceived joke...
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I agree. Joke or not, it comes off like a way for some to try and prove that docs who don’t publish enough yet have a lot of social media followers are somehow less important and must be distinguished by the so called “K-index”. Just my perspective from a “non academic”

Agreed. I personally am not in favor of legitimizing this index, even unintentionally, by publishing papers about it.
