      I would say that yes she did gain some followers because of the SI but the largest gains should have been in the first couple of days when it first happened, and then slowly decreased. Hers started small then exploded today with almost 25K. There is no way that 25K people followed her in one day this many days past the super special walk. Her stuff is pushed down the SI page and less and less people are seeing it.

      Edit: Especially since she is in the red consistently.

          Instagram has this nifty little button on accounts, under your followers, where you can view and remove all spam accounts. I use it regularly on my business account. Those types of accounts do is tank your engagement numbers, which limits your reach to real followers.

            So why do account like TBP and Alicia McCarvell regularly buy followers? I’m actually interested in the perspective of someone who knows how the algorithm works
