How important are BIG Follower Numbers on social media?
It strikes me that social media users place an awful lot of emphasis on gaining big numbers of followers.
And indeed being able to say "! have 100000 Twitter followers or I have 50000 Instagram followers does sound impressive.
The question is how important is it to have a big number of followers?
Well, I believe it is not as important as you might think.
Let's say you have a Twitter follower who has a 50k following.
A retweet would indeed have a lot of value as you are potentially shown to a much bigger audience.
