I feel like wanting followers comes from a need of validation. I noticed most people’s basic needs for a full life haven’t been met so they go online hoping to find it… even if it’s not real or is actually meaningless.

I think we’ve tricked ourselves into believing the more followers- the more popular-the more valuable I am, the more respect I’ll receive. Unfortunately it results in a culture of clout chasing and personality shifting.

Well, on most of these platforms (and also on Nostr's basic use case) what you're not talking to anyone, you're just shouting alone, so I think it's very natural to want someone to listen to your shouts. If you were talking to a smaller group about shared interests then you wouldn't care about followers.
