Author here. I don't think many of my followers ended up being purchasers directly. The vast majority of sales I can attribute to the collection finding its way to various private discords and Telegram groups for folks interested in NFTs.
And how did your collection find its way into those discords... You outsourced the marketing to your followers, that's what social capital is. If you were a no-name individual with 20 followers, your NFTs probably wouldn't have sold despite being exactly the same, because the probability of them ending up in front of the right people would have been much lower, unless you went to considerably higher marketing effort. Thus the point of the parent comment stands.
So are you saying that someone just happened to spot your collection from OpenSea, and then posted that to various NFT groups? I have no idea if that actually happens, just curious
