 I see the point about being social (how this ever became something digital). But it enables professional social medians. Like professional polititians, they’re not rooted in the real world. I personally would not value influencers high. It’s the sort of hyper-centralization, the internet naturally does. And I don’t like it. 
 My measure is actually counter to influencing. That is the whole point.

Influencers don't interact much. They receive large sums, but not frequently in small amounts. That's the sign of an interactive pleb, who is in the convo.

This also helps separate "dead accounts" that aren't worth replying to because they don't interact, from simply VBAs like Odell.
It's not the size, per say, that separates a pleb from an influencer. 
 Ok, then interaction would be bidirectional? This I would like. What I wouldn’t like is the gravitational field around stars. 
 Interactions cannot grow polynomically then, but linearly. That’s healthy.
