We use programmes to determine if people have bought followers or not! Mrs Hinch does have a genuine following, she hasn’t bought followers! Everyone will have some bots following them on Instagram because there are SO MANY, but we make sure to do our checks on influencers before we pay them in any way! We don’t think you should be rewarded for cheating your way to the top!
I actually ran checks on cleanwithme20 on Insta and he’s bought 10,000 followers. I put this on the cleaning instagrammers thread and I got abused for even suggesting it but buying followers is VERY common sadly!
You’re bang on with those figures! As I said, £7k is the highest we’ve paid anyone individually but Mrs Hinch’s fees surpassed what we’d pay 10-12 separate people.
