oh yeah, wow, actually it's 38 right now...

i think there is some famous named number, dunbar's number or something? i think that at minimum you should consider that to be a maximum number of follows

you can't, neurologically, really cope with more people in your life than around 130, it's too much and any larger number turns into this abstraction where you muddle up the less frequently seen ones together, or the less interesting but similar ones kinda meld into this pseudo-collective-person in your memory

i think any human can relate to what i mean about this, we just are not made to live in cities, we are villagers and our society only can be stable when you can scale that without the crowd merging into a blob of NPCs
