Do you think follower count adds that much clout? The few times I've seen it waved around the braggert was largely derided for claiming it as a source of authority. You could do a regression of follower count and find that a great deal of it is correlated to longevity and activity with the remainder being the raw stuff of awesomeness and ability to state ones case well. Number of followers seems come up when a new person hates either the mechanics or the culture of hubski, and claims that no one will give them a fair hearing because they have no followers. These people are usually jerks who should probably just go somewhere else.
