Considering follower counts express who's popular, what would the metric be expressing?

Any metric can be gamed because any entity can spin up millions of pretend-entities and play through any action set to appear legitimate.

Maybe if actions required a real-world device that couldn't be tampered with and would provide legitimate signed results of performed actions, but I don't yet know how to link these two worlds.

The reason I'm saying this is because it's all digital at this point, the only place where it touches meat space is inventory, due to shipping. The rest has no markers in meat space.
