One relatively easy way to check to see if an account is a bot or not is to just look at their profile and look at their numbers. Here are my ten tips, tricks, techniques, and filters you can use to audit your own following. You won’t get a 100% accurate hit rate – some people act remarkably like bots, and some bots are very sophisticated – but you’ll be able to prune out your followers fairly quickly.
Thankfully, there are ways you can tell whether an account is likely to be a bot or not. However, since Instagram is THE social network known for high engagement rates, it hurts even more. Like all social networks, a prevalence of bots in your follower count means you have lower reach, lower engagement rates, and a worse ratio for interactions. On Instagram, bots can be particularly harmful. The point is, no control measure thus thought of by human minds can prevent bots from existing. People simply use other peoples’ numbers to register and re-register accounts. Heck, some Korean MMOs require using a Korean identification number – similar to our social security number – to try to prevent bot accounts and fake accounts, but it doesn’t work. Some have it more than others, and some have more effective means of stopping them than others, but they will always exist. Make no mistake every social network in existence has a problem with fake accounts.
