I've been seeing it more and more lately. People are too focussed on follower counts. They make threads specifically to beg for followers, or humble-brag about how many they have. What's worse is that unlike the old title system, the follower system can be directly manipulated by the offender.
To fix this, I suggest that the follower count be moved to an area of the profile that is viewable only after a few clicks to play back the importance of it, or even all together remove the ability to view another members follower count.
I'm not some person with no followers complaining about those with more bragging, (I have enough to prove any accusations otherwise.) I just find it rather annoying. It's certainly not site-breaking, but I do wish the system was modified to be harder to abuse and/or play down the importance of followers.

I'm confused... Is this a humble - brag thread?
