Bot followers are automated or fake accounts. They inflate numbers but harm everything else.
How to spot them
- No profile photo or a stock image
- Random usernames with numbers
- Zero or very few posts
- Following thousands of accounts
- Generic comments
Why they hurt
- Lower engagement rate
- Mislead your audience data
- Brands distrust inflated accounts
How to clean up
- Remove obvious bots manually from your followers list
- Avoid giveaway spam and follow-for-follow
- Turn on filters for spam comments
