fwiw, I NEVER post (I re-posted a thing maybe once after a couple years being here), I'm a flat out lurker, and yet I have 54 followers. Started when the site took off. I think its probably a bot thing, trolling for follow-me-backs. The account may be shady, and, unearned followers are a thing.

I believe the summary text you see on memeorandum is from the source, not from memeorandum itself. They aggregate popular stories from all sorts of sources (including nutty ones).

So glad you are here!
