I do yeah. How would it not? Being in the default list will inherently give you more follows vs someone who isn't. Look at anyone on that list on nostr.band vs npub.world, and compare it to a user who isn't. The primal default user will drop down to well under half the users, while those not on the list will drop by 10-25%. Primal default are more likely to have bot followers, and follows that looked at primal once then uninstalled. npub.world removes the bots and users who have no activity. That 10k+ users turns into 5k.

Here's how I hit 1 million followers. https://ron.stoner.com/I_Gained_1_Million_Followers_in_24_Hours/ Key takeaways: - over half the Nostr listed relays are using some sort of spam mitigation technique(s) - the attack was still achieveable - socal media is easily manipulated - follower counts and engagement are worthless - content is the real treasure
