 Follower counts are a force which gravitate people to the larger accounts.  I have probably missed a lot of great follows simply because they had less than 100 followers.  Subconsciously, I may have dismissed their opinions and that’s not right.  
Conversely, my brain wants to autofollow anyone with over (eg.5000) followers 


I think follower accounts should be private for the owner of the account.  Anyway, just my 2 Sats. 
 to be honest... Nostr has flipped this for me.

I'm much more inclined to follow low follower count high signal npubs then 5000 + follower npubs

I find there's less arrogance and more willingness to chat

 This combined with the "suggested follows" on Primal create a large divide

Primal says I should follow someone who has 20k followers but hasn't posted in 6 months?

What the fuck for?

 That would be an interesting experiment. I'm not sure if it's technically feasible with nostr

 I hate that I am not immune to this too.
