here's something that's a bit rummin

i'm looking into this twitter thing, right, and i noticed that under the name of the person, it says '10 following' and then '5 followers'.

Now i might be a bit stuipid, but 'following' and 'followers' are very similar concepts, aren't they?

Surely one of them should be called 'followed' or 'followees' .
