The number of followers one has on Steem platforms. :)
At first, I thought that people will only follow you if they like or is interested in the things you write or deliver. However, when I did my very first post here on Steem, I immediately got like 100+ followers, so my guess is that most of the followers one has are just bots or alt accounts who wants to look like a real account.
Plus, from what I've seen, one could have 1000+ followers but they would still get around 10 votes.
