Have a look at this video. Hopefully it helps a little. I'm not trying to say that agent was wrong, but it's only one perspective. That said, of course we could all do more to build our community presence and it can only help us.
I would say this is wildly false. Much of my circle with agents (and quite impressive books deals) have fewer than 5k followers. Keep vetting your advice and keep your head up!
