Rory’s 24 Hour Question – Vanity Metrics

How influenced are you by the number of ‘Followers’ a social media site/blog has, or are you not?  I am not influenced by numbers of followers on a blog. I have followed a few with thousands of followers and a couple with 25 or less. Sadly, some of the blogs with few followers have stopped blogging. It’s quality over quantity for me. 

Do you think blogs/websites and so on should display follower numbers, or should they be hidden? It makes me no never mind. (colloquial I have no strong feelings or preference (about something) one way or the other.) I am interested in comments much more than likes. Likes do serve a purpose to see who is reading though.
