Do fake followers count? eg, half of Trump's followers are fake. – Nixinova ⟨ T| C⟩ 22:58, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
There are many websites to gain followers on multiple platforms it's just that the are not going to keep up with ur post ant all — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:C00:BF36:D1C0:7AFC:6879:BF8E ( talk) 21:21, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
This list-class article contains the names and material of living people so I placed a BLP template.
Someone removed tags with the edit summary "This page is enough have single source because it's only list". That is not even a remote rationale anywhere in the Wikipedia universe and a "list-class" is still considered an article. Please do not remove tags without addressing the issues.

Shall we remove "monthly change" column? No one seems to be monitoring the ups and downs of follower count of elite twitter accounts anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CabbagePower ( talk • contribs) 02:44, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

On the list of most-followed Instagram accounts, no one have problems with direct links to the Instagram accounts. Why are direct links to Twitter accounts not allowed here?

Your recent edit about Twitter gaining back a few million followers made me wonder that perhaps they did not appreciate seeing Trump closing in on their audience!

The Removal of Donald Trump from the stats.
Reason: Banned for life from Twitter
Handle: @RealDonaldTrump
So im sure we have all seen that he has been banned fron twitter indefinitely, but does he still belong on this list? Should he still be on this list but with maybe a *asterisk* or something noting this is how many followers before his ban? Batman088 ( talk) 02:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

What does the country column mean in the chart? Is it country of birth or country based out of? Rhianna was born in Barbados but is based out of the United States. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 16:17, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi all,
I know that according to WP:External links, the Account name column cannot link to the twitter account.
However, I'd like to add a Ref. column that links to the twitter account as a reference. I feel this will be useful to readers of this article and does not violate WP:External links rules.
Here's an example of what I mean:
Rank | Change | Account name | Owner | Brand account |
Followers (millions) |
Occupation | Country | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ![]() |
@BarackObama | Barack Obama | 133.4 | 44th President of the United States | ![]() |
[1] | |
2 | ![]() |
@elonmusk | Elon Musk | 121.8 | Business magnate, engineer, and owner of Twitter | ![]() |
[2] | |
(etc ...) |
What's the consensus?
Thanks,

Yesterday I added Rihanna to the gallery at the top of the page, as she's the only one of the top 6 users with over 100 million followers missing. It was reverted by Ïvana on the grounds that she's not the first anything. You could argue she's the top woman of color, the top Barbadian/Carribean. Or maybe the gallery should just limit the list to the top 5, or those with over 100 million followers, or some other arbitrary criterion. Left like this, I don't see the significance of having Narendra Modi as the top Asian account, and not Neymar for example as the top South American, and so on and whoever the top African, Australian,...
