      When you start buying followers, you have to keep doing it because many of the ones you buy end up disappearing after a while, which also counts as an unfollow. A lot of companies selling fake followers will have a guarantee that they will last for a certain amount of time, but eventually, most of those accounts get closed/banned/deactivated and then you have to buy more again. So these numbers probably reflect both real and fake losses, and she hasn’t bought in a while to replenish her numbers. What a waste of money for some vanity number that isn’t even real. How embarrassing.

          Which means a lot of these losses are probably from that buy as well. They can drop pretty quickly after purchasing, which is why they need to top up consistently. It becomes a non-stop cycle once they start. She probably spends thousands a month on this shit. Edit to add: and I am not saying she isn’t losing real followers because she definitely is. People purge and unfollow in the new year, and her stuff is annoying and uninspiring, so I imagine many are done with her crap.
