base pay logo looks straight from the future (it is)

This whole follower count obsession is backwards thinking. I've watched KOLs with 50-80K followers get ignored by their own community while accounts with 3K followers move markets with a single tweet. The difference isn't numbers - it's trust. You can spot the bought followers easily. High follower count + high engagement, generic comments that don't match the content. These accounts may get brand deals based on vanity metrics but ZERO real influence. The real test isn't how many people follow you. It's whether anyone actually reads when you write. I know creators who've been here six months retweeting everything, farming impressions with T4 project shills. Sure, they hit 30-40K views per tweet. But ask them for an original thought on market structure or protocol design & you get silence. Meanwhile, the builders & researchers with smaller followings are the ones projects actually consult for feedback. They're in the group chats where real decisions get made. Elon's recent bot cleanup was brutal but necessary. Watching follower counts drop 30-50% overnight (I myself saw some accounts I had doubt on) exposed how fake this whole ecosystem had become. Quality projects & quality agencies can smell artificial engagement from miles away. They'd rather work with someone who has 3000 real followers than 50K fake ones. Because when you're spending marketing budget, you want actual humans seeing your content. The irony is that chasing follower count actually hurts your credibility with the people who matter most. Real recognizes real & fake followers don't fool anyone worth impressing. Build something worth following instead of following the crowd.
