That way, if I'm a spammer trying to follow thousands of people I'll still be hit by the limits, but if I'm a legit accoubt that just wants to follow back a few thousand users who are already following me, the follow requests *against existing followers* wouldn't count. Any reason why this wouldn't be a better solution?
