Which will come first 1B followers or 1T dollars?


To clarify, I mean 1 Billion followers on one platform (ie. Twitter, IG, TikTok, etc)

I'm also talking about actual people not companies (ie. T-Series, @Instagram, etc.)

#1 most followed: @Christiano (309 Million Instagram Followers)

Current Richest: Jeff Bezos ($200 Billion USD)

Network effects are breaking down. Reeds Law and Metcalfe law are already showing signs they don't hold for various reasons such as the Dunbar number, error rates in the 6 inch chimp brain we have increasing from info overload etc.

Therefore I'd say the era of non linear scaling taking advantage of network effects has already peaked. Disney has said they have the resources to pump out star wars movies every week but the chimp troupe doesn't have the finanical and cognitive capacities to handle it.

Even if we get someone to 1T, it will only be paper value as they’d never sell their actual shares (would tank the stock price at those levels).

Bezos has to quintuple his net worth, that other guy just needs to triple his (more or less), so I'm going with followers.
