If you have 17k followers how many actual eyeballs see your posts? I guess it largely depends on how "stale" the account followers are (= how many are still active), but I have to guess it's below 1k? Maybe even below 100?

Then the math for conversion rate on link clicks after that, it seems like you might be talking about on the order of ten hits for 17k followers?

I had Wikileaks/Assange link to an article I wrote on Twitter. The clickthrough rate was like 500 readers or something. Quite underwelming.

WHen I left, it was ~1k. Subscribers are another increasingly meaningless metric — people left, people die, and their account remains there forever.
