Instagram stages purge of millions of spam and fake accounts
The housecleaning on Instagram was so widespread, it affected celebrity follower rankings, with Justin Bieber being knocked from the number 1 spot, by losing 15% of his followers, about 3.5 million total. Now, Kim Kardashian, who herself saw 5% of her followers disappear sits atop the social network.
For those that treasure their following though, some were concerned about engagement to which Instagram assures that legitimate accounts will still be able to see and like posts. Given the push broom housecleaning going on, we wonder if the remaining active account standing would have any impact on analysts that see Instagram as being larger than Twitter.
