Your experience in deleting ghost followers

Hi friends! Can you share your own experiences in deleting ghost followers? Does it helps? Does it hurts? There are opposite sides of view about it in theory, so I’ll be very grateful if you share how it worked in practice

Same questions here. Anyone?

That actually depends on a lot of factors. Any celebrity at the top has at least 10% or more inactive followers.
Do they care? Nope.

Some brand new accounts boost up their numbers to 30k fake followers and post promotional content every day.
And then they wonder why aren't they growing?

Those are two extreme scenarios and you would probably sit somewhere in between.

But the point is if you already have great engagement and consistently post quality content then a small percentage of inactive followers won't really matter.
And if you fall on the other end of the spectrum where 100% of your audience is fake and your ER is messed up with zero visibility then it might be a good idea to get rid of a handful of them.

Well, on smaller accounts it helps to boost engagement metrics, it helps do sustain account quality.
On bigger accounts, with real daily organic growth its does not matter that much because the number of ghosts its not significant to metrics.

The mid term, it all depends on several factors, each case its a case.
