Instagram Deletes Tons of Fake Accounts, Celebs Lose Tons of Followers

Instagram Deletes Tons of Fake Accounts, Celebs Lose Tons of Followers


It’s a bad week for people who are obsessed with their follow counts on Instagram. The social media site decided to clean how and delete all kinds of fake and inactive accounts that were floating around. This means that normal people might have lost a few followers and that celebrities lost lots of them. Justin Bieber took the biggest hit during the Instagram purge, losing a whopping 3,538,228 followers! Yikes! Here’s what Instagram had to say about their decision:
“We’re in the process of fixing an issue that incorrectly includes inactive or fake accounts in follower/following lists. We want to maintain the best possible experience on Instagram, so we do our best to remove spam, fake accounts and other people and posts that don’t follow our Community Guidelines. As we remove these accounts, some people may notice a decrease in their follower/following counts.”
Justin wasn’t the only star we love to lose lots of followers in the Instagram purge. Ariana Grande lost 1,529,206, Selena Gomez lost 1,116,032 and Kendall Jenner lost 906,897. YIKES!
