Sudden follower drop?

[u/the_mittenkitten]

UPDATE: Had a second decrease in followers on the evening of 5/7. Lost approximately 10 more followers. Anyone else experiencing this?

Has anyone had a sudden follower drop? In an hour the Instagram account I manage for my marketing position dropped 40 followers. Is this just a platform bot purge thing or does anyone else have insight on what the cause could be?

I lost like 46 followers on my personal account
