Artwork, absolutely do not care how many followers you have… although, I’m more likely to follow you if you have a decent amount of work

Artworks. I followed so many artists on Instagram who make amazing art, but don't have as many followers as they should. Doesn't help that some followers might be bots/fakes so it's never 100% accurate.

Most people will judge an artist success or how good they are by their follower count and a lot of people will attach that follower count to their own self worth. But in reality, the artists personal character and their body of work is going to dictate if they're 'good' or not.

Art work, there's some famous artists out there where the art isn't even like... that good? Or maybe just not what I like or prefer to see

Artworks. I saw a lot of good artists on Instagram and a lot of them don't have much followers, some are working in animation or game. Also sometime followers aren't even real people, so yeah, artworks is more important.

Followers don't say shit about your worth regarding anything. This isn't even a question
•
I would say artworks. The number of followers isn't exactly the most fair comparsion due to how its based off of what the algorithm pushes foward. Someone can have few followers due to having a niche style or not being super interactive online.
