Sheer number of followers, without other info, *does not matter* (except at extremes). Most followers are as useful or even less useful than paid bot followers.
Definitely, especially if the followers are active enough to learn from it vs if I'm one of 1000s of people they follow

Yeah that sounds a lot less egoistic
In the meantime I though about the issue a bit more and I think the sheer number of followers actually does matter. But I couldn't really fit it into one tweet.

+1 to longform writeups! Twitter sure encourages simplification. Increasing # of followers does increase prob that the followers are useful. To be more precise, I think # of followers is a /much weaker/ indication of value than is commonly expected
