How is it that I’m the only person following this artist? Seriously, the Grea pics alone ought to be worth a few hundred.

…never mind, Pixiv doesn’t display how many people follow another user, it’s how many users they follow. So, tomo only follows userid #11, aka Pixiv itself. I could have sworn there was a way to display follower count, but the API call that’s supposed to return that in pixivpi3 just returns your own followers. Maybe they locked it down.
