To your last point: the fact that “being known” spans ~8 orders of magnitude probably makes this pretty likely a Pareto distribution. Or whatever distribution is closest surely shares many of its characteristics. Also the fact that being known helps with being known. Increasing your “being known degree” by 5% is probably not that much more difficult when 100M people know you vs when 100K people know you.
