How do we define the different audience types?

Mass followers are accounts with...

  • less than 4000 followers  
  • more than 1500 profiles that they are following

--> these accounts try to increase their own number of followers by following a big number of other Instagram accounts.


Suspicious accounts are...

  •  bought via certain services in order to increase the number of for likes, comments and followers

--> In most cases, these accounts are bots.


Influencers

  • Instagram Accounts with more than 4000 followers. 

Real People 

  • Instagram accounts which are genuine i.e. have a profile picture
  • the ratio between followers and following is adequate
  • the number of posts is adequate etc.
