What isfollower growth rate?

Follower growth rate is how fast an account is gaining followers, as a percentage of its size over a period. It says more about momentum than a follower count says about anything.

Steady growth suggests content that keeps finding new people. A flat line on a large account often means the audience was gathered years ago and has been drifting since. Sudden spikes with no matching engagement usually mean followers were bought.
