Gonna be unfollowing lots of people but I'll follow people back after I'm done so if I show up a few dozen times on your thing don't worry bout it. I just need to clear my thing up.
No I do not follow people for more followers. I follow people because they are very good at what they do or have an amazing unique personality. Some are just playing out awesome.
So go out and follow a whole bunch of people you think are awesome and don't be ashamed for how many you follow! Doesn't matter if they don't follow you back either. At least they know you think they're amazing!
