Is that still really the case though about followers? Without looking I don't know how long you have been around here, but I remember a time (before the hardfork) when there were a massive number of bot accounts that would follow your account every day. I think I have over 1000 followers but I would guess at least 900 of them are either inactive or not actual accounts.

Well, I mean I have no way to prove that I got any followers from reblogs or at least I don't know how I would. And I'm sure a lot of followers I do have are in fact inactive or bots. However, I'm just extrapolating from my own behavior. I occasionally find new people to follow via reblogs and since I assume that I am not that unique, my expectation is that at least some other people do the same. Why wouldn't reblogs from accounts you like and follow be useful for finding new accounts to follow?
I don't disagree with you, I am just saying that I seem to forget to reblog. Based on the comments it looks like I am not alone. It's good that you are able to find content you like because of it. Looks like I was way off on my followers. It's over 2000, I still the ratio is the same though.
