Yours is a public account on a public network. I can just verify your engagement by looking at your profile, and ill have to say im not suprised.
I have far "fewer" followers than new, but much more engagement.

So make friends.
It's likely most followers are dead accounts and bots anyway. Anyone who is a default follow in primal also has inflated numbers. Once you remove the bots and dead accounts, the numbers look more realistic for the theoretical number of users on Nostr.
@npub176p7...vgup has been doing great work to make actually usable stats at npub.world, removing bots and accounts that never interact.
For instance, I show around 5k follows on nostr.band, and around 3.6k on npub.world. Ava is about 33k/6.6k. Yours is very close at 1.8k/1.5k.
These numbers only matter to inflooooencers anyways. Bragging about your follower count is degenerate behavior, best to ignore those kinds of people.
Save your presumptive advice for someone who needs it.
@Ray Buni might also be able to give some good info. He runs profilestr.com, but I'm not sure how he is collecting the stats, what relays he uses, or if he is removing bots like npub.world.
Sorry for getting under your skin. Force of habit. I like your notes, but I do think you're wrong on this one.
You have not gotten under my skin, my friend. Though I disagree, I respect your opinion. We both want to see Nostr succeed.
