I check the Quora company account - constantly.
It all started about a year ago, some commenter said,
“You almost have more followers than the Quora company account! It’ll be a huge milestone!”
And it started there. It gets boring sometimes around here. So these things give me something to gun for.
I started tracking Quora’s follower count.
Only 10K followers behind.

Woooo!
Ahhhh yes. That felt great. I’d surpassed Madame Quora. With her boring-ass answers.
I am the King.
A few weeks go by.
A commenter says,
“You almost have more followers than Quora’s company account!”
WHAT! <BEADS OF SWEAT ON MY FOREHEAD>
I frantically click on her profile.
She’d somehow stepped through a wormhole and gained 30K followers.
Nooooooo.
The battle renewed.

I’m caught in a meaningless competition with a bot account in a game that can never be won.
