What can recent Instagram follows tell you?

Recent Instagram follows can sometimes provide an interesting snapshot of what an account is paying attention to at a particular moment. For example, a sudden group of follows around the same topic might indicate a new interest or project. Of course, one follow by itself probably does not tell you very much. Do you ever look at recent Instagram follows for this kind of context? What patterns do you find genuinely useful?

A lot of the trackers people mention online do look pretty shady, especially the ones asking for your Instagram password right away. I tested a few different options recently and the only one that felt simple and actually useful for checking recent follows was recently-followed. It updates way faster than trying to manually compare follow lists yourself and the fact that it doesn’t require logging into your account makes it feel a lot safer than most of the random apps out there
