Making almost half of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian’s Instagram followers fake.

Since influencer marketing is top-notch today, people tend to bloat their accounts with fake followers, likes on Instagram using bots and third party apps.

Recent trends show how notable celebs like the Kardashians–Jenners live off social media by promoting their brands posts as well as other brands on their accounts. It is said that Kim Kardashian receives between $300,000 to $500,000 for a single promotion, and about $1,000,000 depending on the brand and the duration of the promotion.

However, Instagram has been out deflating bloated accounts propagated via unethical means.

Following the revealing of actual account followers of these array of  incredible celebrities, do you think it’d translate to bad business for them?
