Not one funeral in history mentioned the person’s follower count.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

What gets said about a person at the end is remarkably consistent, and it is never about metrics. People talk about how someone made them feel, what they did when it was hard, the specific small kindnesses nobody else witnessed. None of that appears on any profile, and all of it is what actually gets remembered.

Without making it morbid, you can use that list as a rough guide now. Ask what someone who knows you well would honestly say, and whether you would want that to be accurate. Most of the answers point toward how you treat people rather than what you accumulate.
