I wish had some insight to offer but I don't.
I neither have a lot of followers nor many downloads ... so I can't test this
Maybe @BryonyRae has an insight to this if the same is happening to her ?
It's not something I've ever paid attention to. Looking at my profile today, I can see that its count includes more downloads than I currently have, so I believe it is including items that I originally shared but then pulled, although even then, the number seems too high to me. I have no idea about the followers. I have definitely seen others complain about similar issues on the forums though. Sorry I can't be of more help.
