Maybe the follower model social media sells us is deeply broken. It exploits our need for belonging, turns recognition into status, and status into power. Instead of challenging existing social structures, it quietly reproduces them.
Having thousands of followers taught me something: either you become a prisoner of their expectations, or they become prisoners of your influence.
Maybe this power game makes sense under capitalism, but I find the whole obsession with followers and numbers deeply sick now.
So I don't care about followers anymore. I just want to have way how to express my opinions, see opinions of my peers and eventually have discussions with people who accept me as I am.
