I'm kinda surprised because he only has some 9mil followers on weibo.

And an average of 300k-400k likes per post.

 

Things like this are more indicative of fandom dedication IMO, rather than actual popularity because it's just fans reposting his post again and again to manipulate the forward count. Same with comments. I think likes are more indicative of public popularity/favor as they're harder to manipulate and you can only like once.

Ahh, ok. I thought an account could only forward a post one time. That makes more sense.
