You have two maximums/minimums possible with the given data:

250thousand followers are following 3.3 million content creators each

Or

(3.3million x 250thousand) followers each follow 1 content creator

The last one is more than the total number of English speakers, by far, in the world.

There is no inflection point on this linear regression. So, if neither extreme is sensible, it would be astonishing if some value between was.

If you take the number of English speakers and divide it by 2 (so assuming half of all English speaking people are contributing to this phenomenon), then they are each, on average, following 1200 content creators.

Following 1200 people is hard, even when they are people you know. This is nonsense

I'm not gonna point at every point on the line, but you can just try any amount you think.

There are also, of course, combinations of different amount of followers. Where 1 person makes up for 4 by following 4,600, but the number is so absurdly large that it can really only be accounted for by bots or lying, or a combo
