How would you gauge someone's popularity on SW?

Is it profile views, amount of comments the user receives on posts, number of Friends/Followers (though this is sometimes hidden as is profile views)...

What is your formula?

No this is not a "popularity contest" question... I ask because I saw previous posts asking who the popular users are and I'm trying to understand HOW they come to their conclusions.

It would be a mixture, profile views, followers, gifts, number of people they message with....but do people really care about it?

@InOtterWords Based on some questions that have been posted in the past (and as recently as earlier today), I would say, yes some people do care about it lol

@iMystery i very much have a different sense of self. I have a few close friends, those i let in. I have friends i have a laugh with and i have people i know and get on with. The rest of them hate me. It was like that in RL and it is lime that on here. I was nevwr part of the "in-crowd" and i nevwr had a desire to be. I think people see that and end up just accepting who i am.
