I have that many followers because I&#x27;m noisy, have been on Twitter for a long time, and very occasionally post original content to Twitter before I post them elsewhere. Patrick has more followers than I do; how&#x27;d he get there? Blog posts and Bingo Card Creator.<p>It&#x27;s true that if you&#x27;re LeBron James everyone will pay attention to you instantly, and if you&#x27;re a random programmer it will take an investment of time and energy to get anyone to pay attention to you at all, but that doesn&#x27;t seem like a flaw in the platform so much as a description of how the world works.
