If a million of us picked a certain redditor and followed them on social media, we would have the power to make someone famous

Besides being more easy to execute than a millionaires /random for money, it could be used for good too. Charities and various other cool things people on reddit do could win. Also, even gaining 10,000 followers on instagram or twitter is a significant increase.

EDIT: So here's my thoughts on guidelines. If this goes forward, I will let the people help decide how it works.

  1. Entry accounts must be at least 1 day old (created before the post).
  2. Once a month we pick a winner randomly (TBD how), they link all of the social media accounts they want (individuals pick which ones they want to follow).
  3. We create social media accounts accessible by moderators of the contest sub for anyone to follow as well.
  4. The posts those accounts will make will be to announce that month's winner (this should help solve the !Remindme problems with the millionaire one) and promote following the winner.
  5. Incentivize following somehow. Maybe we use social media monitoring tools to see if the person actually followed last month's winner. People that follow more winners, have a higher chance to win (1 submission = 2 chances, etc).

EDIT2: A neat idea from /u/HD_ERR0R could be to also pick a random social media profile for everyone to randomly follow. Imagine receiving 5,000 followers and people tweeting how awesome and famous you are without even participating in the contest. This could be fun to do inbetween official rounds.
