Yes, as I thought about it more, I think while I’m still convinced of the underlying problems that come with power-law distribution of follower numbers - I’m less convinced about the solution of just placing hard limits.
That said, the “chaining accounts” thing isn’t the main problem with it IMHO. It would still make a big difference for mega accounts. e.g. consider someone with 1M followers. if follower numbers were capped at 10K you’d need 100 different accounts to get the same numbers and I don’t see how that is feasible at all for a person do to. Much less someone with 10M followers.
