About this fake follower report
This report estimates how much of @insidertravel's audience consists of real, reachable people versus bots, purchased followers, and inactive accounts. The audience quality score of 58/100 combines six weighted signals, including engagement rate versus the benchmark for accounts of this size, the likes-to-comments ratio, and post-to-post engagement consistency. An estimated 37.2% fake share places this account in the red zone, which usually indicates purchased followers or bot activity. Results are recalculated at most once per week unless you force a re-check. Learn more on the fake follower checker page, or measure raw engagement with the engagement rate calculator.
