Num followers is a terrible metric. Better to track someone's *de facto* followers, e.g., by using [average # of likes per top-level tweet].

I've noticed while I get a few likes on most tweets, they're rarely the same people. So best would be this times some constant.

I'm thinking in terms of approximating the absolute number of active followers, instead of average per tweet.

Isn't average likes per tweet (across a large # of tweets) linearly proportional to # active followers?

Suppose you have 100 followers who love you, but they also follow many others, so each of your tweets is seen&liked by only 1

That's approximately the same as having 100 lukewarm followers, 10 of whom see each tweet, where 1/10 like what they see.

But I agree there are differences b/t scenario 1 and 2. In scenario 1, your tweets are probably higher quality.
