Would have been nice to have just seen these as normal graphs; the "infographic" style feels a bit OTT for this kind of (very important) data, and almost trivializes it.

I do question, though, where the "A company's following count should not [be] higher than 10% of their follower count" comes from? That sounds like utter rubbish. Why 10%? And why shouldn't a company follow back every one of their followers (rather than just an elite 10%), so that, for example, they can exchange private DMs with more-sensitive information? There's no direct source for this incredibly arbitrary number. (or, put another way, "[citation needed]"...)
