Primal is probably calculating using more relays, including their own Primal one. You're on their recommended list, so everyone who tries out Primal auto-follows you, including bots and stuff.
GM,Nostriches!
Why do I have 20k followers when I see my profile on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg while on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 it’s 816? 😆😅

This is more accurate.

☝️this. I'll add that Primal gets there counts from a cache server, while damus calculate on the fly from your relays, contributing to the huge difference.
npub.world gives a more accurate count, not including bots and scam accounts.

Yes, Damus has live counts. The number is actually more like "followers on relays you are currently subscribed to".
So, if you sent out a note right this minute, from Damus, those are the npubs you could possibly reach.
