I follow people who's work I like to read. Period. No other reason. Some on here buy bots to artifically inflate their follower numbers so they can reach "influencer" status. Like that means anything anymore.

Others do it to reach the golden 100. They follow 1000 to get 100 to follow them back so that they can get into the MPP. Once in they complain htey aren't making any money. Well, yeah. You followed followers not readers!
