Enter a public Instagram handle above. We screen recent public engagement for inflation warning signs.

Use this public-data screen to identify engagement-based audience warnings before outreach.

How the fake follower screen works

Bought followers don't like or comment, so an inflated audience can show up as a gap between follower count and real engagement. This tool flags accounts with at least 25,000 followers whose recent public engagement sits far below what accounts that size normally get.

The rule is deliberately conservative. A flag means look closer before you spend — check who is commenting, whether comments are generic, and whether recent posts changed format.

Questions

Does this calculate an exact fake-follower percentage?

No. It compares public engagement signals and returns an engagement-based warning when the available data calls for review.

Why can low engagement happen?

Inactive followers, a format change, seasonal content, hidden likes, or weak recent posts can all lower engagement. Review the evidence before rejecting a creator.

What should a campaign team do after a warning?

Review recent posts, compare candidates, or upload the whole creator list and use the warning alongside fit and activity signals.
