One can argue that, yes. One could find more specific evidence, e.g. looking at retweets to tweets containing my own work.

In general, though, follows are usually do to agreement with and/or interest in the posted content. Not always, but mostly.

I followed you because of the data privacy issues re: OKCupid dataset, not any particular interest in your work. Sorry!
