Why would someone's number of followers be a "material fact"?

I mean, it might make me decide to listen to them a time or two. It won't for long, though - they need to say something worth hearing for that.

(Disclaimer: The previous paragraph is hypothetical. I don't do social media at all, so I don't follow anyone...)

People buying followers are often competing for commercial opportunities for which social media influence is a key factor in what they are selling to the prospective buyer.
