The basic problem is that the more followers you have, the more likely you are to run into negative sentiment. The sub-problem is that the more unique and individual your voice, the more likely you are to piss off someone every time you make them happy. So if you are good at "hubski-ing" you end up with lots of people taking a swing at you.

You've got 21 followers. As of this moment I have 416. One of them is thenewgreen, another is mk. There's probably a lot of crossover between their followers and mine, but at 400 for me, 400 for TNG and 400 for mk, there's ample chance for someone who doesn't know me from adam (and doesn't have any manners) to tear into me for, say, not liking Dodge.

Been there, done that.
