Field note
Follower counts are useful here because they help you sort directory density, not because they prove one creator is globally better than another. @amalapaul may sit high in the list because the page also brings enough tags, posts, and related profiles to keep browsing alive.
Follower order is a shortcut to stronger entry pages. It gives you a top layer of profiles that tend to have better route depth once opened.
It is not a claim that every high-follower account should outrank every lower-follower account in every use case. In this directory, followers are one signal among many that help decide where a browsing session should begin.
