Followers maybe not as important as many here seem to think? I have 350+ but have never had remotely near that many people ever read one of my posts, let alone upvote it.

yeah, a lot of people just play the "follow back" game to get a lot of followers, they'll follow you just hoping that you'll follow them back. That can work to some degree, but it won't build a solid following of people who like your content.
