social media followers
Digital fan count
Social media followers are users who subscribe to receive updates from a particular account on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok.
Follower counts serve as a measure of reach and influence—brands pay more to advertise with accounts that have many followers.
The term often appears in discussions of online popularity: She has ten thousand followers but barely any engagement.
To follow someone is to become their follower; to unfollow is to stop.
