I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I actually love it! I don't care how many followers someone has. Good content is good content no matter the follower count. I feel that sometimes if someone sees a low follower count, they write the articles/person off and DEV doesn't give this the opportunity to happen. Everyone is on a similar playing field.
I don't see it as a goal. It makes me happy to see it, but I'd still produce content no matter the follower count. I love writing because it helps me learn. 😊
I fully agree. I recently started writing on Dev.to, which helps me learn alot of stuffs and share my learnings with others. Follower counts is just a number.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Do you see gaining followers as a goal in itself?
How do you feel about the way DEV doesn't display follower counts to users?
