Follower count is a weak wildlife credential
A public Dex can show what you have documented: species, places, and whether the record is wild or captive. That is a clearer portfolio than a grid of unlabelled stills.
Accuracy is the price of publishing
Imported posts may appear in Discover. Confirm identity and historical location first. False details can become an account strike.
Creator Rewards remain a live-contribution path. A public archive is still valuable without being a payout event.
