    Have any of ye looked at this website? Really interesting! Showing bloggers getting a couple of hundred followers a days. Loosing a lot then gaining a day or two later! Also interestingly enough saw one blogger delete almost a thousand photos in one day which I don't get? Is that not a lot?
    I wonder do companies look this to see organic v paid for followers or would it even bother them? I think it's so false And shows how false social media is!

    You can see how many followers MUF buys. She has a minimum of 500 a week bought ones. In comparison, I checked Rosie, Sue and Grace and NONE of them show the large jumps like hers does, which is a sure sign that she is buying. They also have little or no unfollows.

    She was up 2,072 followers on 22nd July. That was the same day she was written about on a US site so maybe she got a load of followers from that? The next day though she's down 999 followers(!) so they didn't stick around.

    Edit: I read the figures backwards - she was down 999 followers, then up by 2,072 the next day.

    I'd be more inclined to reckon they were bought Wolfmoon87. I check on the stats now and again and there is a definite pattern with her being up one large amount and then down a good few days in a row.

    You can compare people to! You would think with such a huge amount of followers they wouldn't need to be buying them! Wish Facebook was on it to!
    She lost the 1k and went up by 2k the next day! Maybe a coincidence tho!

    Woops I read it backwards! That does look suspicious. And how do you lose a thousand followers in a day?!

    Doubtful that many people unfollowers all at once? Instagram do delete 'ghost' pages so possibly that?

    Just saw on Laura Views snaps that Instagram are blocking all apps or the top ones at least so people can't buy followers! They are also deleting fake followers! Should be interesting if it does happen!!!

    Mediakix did a very interesting experiment, where they set up two fake Instagram accounts, purchased followers and fake engagement, and secured four paid brand deals. One of the accounts consisted of only stock photos!
