I have a semi-serious business idea for Twitter. They should charge verified/celebrity users a huge amount to be able to fill in whatever number they want in the followers box. If you're advertising on twitter, you will know the actual number so you're not paying extra. It\ would reduce or eliminate the services that "help" with inflating your follower count, and vain people who care about this stuff get to see a large number next to their name.

That would make followers even more meaningless.

  How so?

    Right now, twitter can claim that the number labeled "followers" is the number of followers. If they adopt your scheme, they can't. They'd basically be lying.
