I've been on social media for awhile, and Instagram has some of the least
loyal followers. People will follow you there a lot quicker than other forms
of social media, but they will also unfollow you almost as fast. I'm still try-
ing to figure out this Instagram game. When people follow me I expect some
of them to disappear, but the numbers are so dramatic on Instagram. I like
the beauty and the visual component of Instagram, but let's be honest...
A lot of people on Instagram are just fake. About a year ago, I wrote about
the four types of social media followers: Genuine, Snobby, Greedy, and
Casual...but on Instagram, some of these followers take following to a
whole new level.
5 Examples of Useless Instagram Followers
1. Fake Fan Followers: People who like a lot of your photos hoping
you'll follow them, but when you don't, they follow you and after you
follow them they unfollow you.
2. Promotional Followers: People who follow you so they can expose
you to their product, and after you follow them they unfollow you.
3. DM Followers: People who follow you only so they can direct
message you to try to get you to buy something from them, and then
they unfollow you.
4. Stalk Followers: People who unfollowed you, but when you post a new
photo they like it or comment, even though they don't follow your account
anymore.
5. The Follow/Unfollow Followers: People who follow you, they unfollow
you, and then they follow you again.
