The things to wach are the total numbers of coments on the posts people make.
Meaning are they bots made comments. Or real
accounts made.
If you have million followers you should have tens of thousand comments on your posts.

I don't have Instagram, but from what I gather from this site and seeing the folks who use it, it's a bunch of narcissistic people all circle jerking each other. That a person such as a bodybuilder or "fitness celebrity" (oh brother  ::)) would have more than a washed up athlete is no surprise to me.

This is all it is. It's also full of advertisements and bullshit now. It's a waste of time.

Bradly has almost 3 followers? His second follower must be really tall!

(Or is his third follower a dwarf?)

Add to that an endless list of hashtags and you have a generation of internet-kids that think their lives matter, whilst their life spirals down into depression and self-loathing.

They should make a TV-show about it. Would love to see more people die trying to take selfies for their 'followers' and 'likes'.

In their defense, they’re probably making more than from IG than almost anyone that has a job they hate. So if anyone thinks that social media is a waste, you need to keep up.

And by "they" you mean the few hundreds that "made" it.

Plenty of people missing the bus, Coach, you should know with your channel.

Yes, it's odd that a grown man would care about who has more IG followers.

I can't ever imagine being concerned about something like this.

To each their own.

Yes and no...

Yes, because it's a pathetic marketing game.
No, because it brings him business. I've talked to multiple successful PTs/coaches over the years and all of them get most of their new clients via social media. This goes for most services or products, most potential clients start their 'journey' with some Googling, Facebooking or IG-ing.

Then shouldn't he worry about his own IG account and not others?  ??? ??? ???

Who cares if people have more followers than Tim Tebow.

If you’re a business big or small and not using social media as your primary source of marketing you’re a fool. Those that don’t “get it” work an 8 hr day, collect a check and go home. If that’s what they want, good for them but don’t shit on businesses that market on Twitter, FB, Snapchat, IG or YouTube.

IG and the like are kinda gay.,,,, who really wants to see others peoples dogs and cats,,,, clothes.... vacation pics they'll never have the balls to go on,,,,, but,,, good for business though if used properly ...... great exposure bc that's all half the country does nowdays...... stare at their phone...

I guess he can't stand it that 'fitness celebrities'  have more followers than a 'true athlete'.
Yes, Coach gives too much of a fuck about irrelevant things and doesn't do regarding things that do matter, such as climate or healthcare issues.

Well, this is something I don’t care about. Just pointing that the reach guys like Swoll, Martin, the fake IG chicks, etc is no where in comparison to the reach a celebrity has.

There is nothing wrong with using IG to market ones business.

But who cares what others do.

Joey and C Bumstead have clothing sponsors and that's typically a sign that they have a huge following. Clothing companies often pay for each post and look for people with large social media followings (not fake ones).

Observer of social media. Just watched an IG live with a one of these guys not named Tebow, and his viewership went only 340 out of the 2mil + he supposedly has. When I was in Vegas last month I did a live Q&A and hit a little over 400. I only have 12,381.

Look at their followers, then look at a bunch of their pics, for instance this girl I follow has 8 million followers, yet look at her pics and her like counts are around 100,000-200,000, so something isn't really adding up, most likely purchasing followers from various sites.

It doesn’t add up. Most are bought. When I post I get my feedback from my post and account insights. It tells (because of the numbers) what posts are more popular than others. Tells me reach, saves, likes and profile visits.

I know there are programs to auto follow people who put likes on your stuff but didn't know you could buy fake followers.  I dd notice Joey has been frozen at exactly 2m.

A whole new world.

On the back side he"s showing more. The number we see will only show by 100. Example is, mine shows 12,3K but my insights will show 12,388. Once it rounds off it will show 12.4k

Has downsides too. Even average looking broads are drowned in attention and reflexively become  unapproachable bitches.

As far as i know using bots that auto like and follow get you a deleted account.
