I agree with you, Dr Yildiz. This thinking is in line with social media followers, There is nothing material from 40,000 or 400,000 followers at all. - Aldric Chen - Medium

We no more use followers as a metric as it is false and useless. We also don’t use views as a metric since we receive millions of views but a majority come from external sources hence do not add much value to our writers.
