Is your self worth dictated by how many followers you have on your social media accounts?

Social media networks, at least the big ones, serve content chosen by some sort of algorithm - which is tuned to maximize interactions, usage time and thus profit. Those who generate engaging content will have more followers, and I believe that this content does not reflect how much one is worth. In that sense, attaching my self worth to a follower count would basically let my emotions be controlled by a monetary value.

I'm happy to say that my self worth is measured by the size of my moustache.
