Yes, I should have clarified that what I mean is that the higher the follower number, the higher the number of people who are likely to be interested in what you do.

It's like with every platform, where you may have X amount of followers or subscribers, but only a certain amount of them actively engage with you.

Comparatively, someone with 100 followers is much more likely to have very little engagement, because maybe 10 of those people are likely to respond to every single posts. So multiply that with 1000, 10k, etc.

I have seen people on this platform gain very decently, not just because they're active (that's one thing), but also because they have a huge following. Of course, both go hand in hand. But with a bigger following comes a higher likelihood of your posts being featured on their for you and follow page, etc.
