 Yeah, it's like I'm dragging a bunch of dead npubs behind me. That must be how some people have 100k+ followers, but only about twice as much interaction as I do.
Mine probably doesn't have as many dead npubs because it's just not as old.

The stats would be so much more interesting, if they only contained npubs that had been active within 3 months. 
 it's such a rich vein of data to analyse for all kinds of reasons... it's gonna be interesting to see as people start to build good analytics 
 Stats at different time intervals would be interesting

I think the 100k+ followers comes partly because they’re celebrities from twitter and partly because of the trending circle jerk 
 Yeah, but I'm like... How have there been 100k people here? 🤷‍♀️😂

Feels like a little clique. 
 Doesn’t every new npub follow a set of npubs (if you use certain clients)? You can get to 100k+ easily in 2 years 
 Took me 6 months to get to 4k. 😂🙈 
 Agreed but we’re not celebrities 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 It should have read: “you can get to 100k+ easily if you’re a celebrity” 
 Doesn’t change anything in the end though 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 Well, it means that people aren't staying long enough to find npubs that aren't celebrities. 
 Or that they don’t unfollow the default list. But yes I agree there’s a lot of npub tourism
