Beware of the Follower Pipeline

BEWARE OF THE PIPELINE 100 followers 500 followers 1000 followers 5000 followers 10k followers

A lineup of increasingly smaller, younger-looking anime-style girls shows the progression from 100 to 10k followers, ending with a tiny chibi character. The joke is that gaining more followers gradually transforms the account’s audience or content into something increasingly childish and absurd, presented as a warning about the “pipeline.” People send it as a humorous reaction to sudden growth, fandom changes, or an audience becoming less mature.
