It's Sunday

I had no idea you could purchase followers for your Instagram account. (I don't have one.)

   

 So, it turns out that Instagram has deleted all these accounts:

[Some users were] praising the effort to crack down on spam, while others were “in mourning” over the loss of millions of followers overnight. One ordinary user, who calls himself “chiragchirag78” lost 99.99 percent of his flock (3.6 million followers) on Friday.

Instagram's own account on the site lost 18.9 million followers overnight.

Meanwhile, according to figures assembled by developer Zach Allia, the biggest celebrity victim was rapper Akon, who lost more than half his followers. Justin Bieber's account went down by 3.5 million, Kim Kardashian 1.3 million and Beyonce 832,000 followers.

And do you know what they are calling this move?

 "Instagram rapture."

Appropriate name for the removal of fake, paid-for followers.
