I was just writing about this the other day! You said it so much better than me lol :)
It's so annoying when people say that, and I go to their page and they are following 12000 people. What's the point man. They aren't looking for real, genuine connections with other humans, they are looking for $$$.
Which is actually pretty sad considering that this money hunger transforms a vast mass of people into mindless heartless monkeys ready to give up on whatever little self respect they have left.
I am ok with someone trying to make money as long as they are legit; as long as they don't try to cheat the system (which sometimes is ok if the system is abusive... but even then, who is X to decide the system is abusive)...
