aww thanks @juliabreheny! I'm so glad to hear that you connected with this post too. I think the whole approach of this place is so much better geared towards community.

Did you know that on instagram you can actually purchase thousands of followers? That's why sometimes you'll see people with 50k followers - and only 1 or 2 comments on their posts. What's the point of that? Usually it's because they want to attract add revenue. Luckily, we can monetize our content in other ways so having the "biggest following" doesn't really matter as much.

Thanks for chiming in and adding to the conversation!
