I'd say at least 50K, if you aren't an entertainer or a model (a real model, not an Instagram "model").BWAHAHAHAHA! I have an IG account for couponing; I legit couldn't tell you how to actually work it...what does Insta famous constitute? 1-2K followers or like 10K?
I legit know someone who has bought followers (we used to be close.... and by close I mean our boyfriends played on the same baseball team and she always sat next to me...for like two entire seasons... I did a happy dance when they decided their relationship was no more and I didn't have to answer 90000 ridiculous questions every game...) and she was like "don't tell anyone this but I bought like all of my instagram followers. She has like 40k or something like that. Her mom also takes terrible "modeling" pics for her that she uses an app to airbrush on her phone (she'll literally post "great photoshoot today!"... no reputable photographer would take and edit pictures like the ones she posts...) and she made up a name for her "fan base"... I sit back and laugh to myself because it's so funny to me that how many followers you have actually makes people think they have some type of "social status"... I would be so embarrassed... Like what are you going to say on college applications? "Im instagram famous!".... no. just no.Depends.... are the followers real or bought?
That sounds really sad SMH. People are so desperate to feel like celebrities nowadays. Did you hear about the girl that got jumped at a McDonalds? She thought she was famous because her name was in the national news, and she was bragging about it online, and acting like an idiot. Who brags about getting jumped? :banghead:I legit know someone who has bought followers (we used to be close.... and by close I mean our boyfriends played on the same baseball team and she always sat next to me...for like two entire seasons...

I'm not sure why people think children (theirs or not) need or deserve a social media account just because their friends have one. I didn't have a Facebook until I was 16 and I'm almost 22. I survived without a Facebook or a MySpace when all of my middle school friends had one. I begged my mom for years and I now feel like at 16 I was even too young for one. My little sister will be 20 this year and I cringe daily at the BS she posts. There are teens that post I see tweeting about sex/drinking/drugs that are going to wish their parents didn't allow them to have social media when they lose out on college acceptance/scholarships, internships, or even jobs because they were dumb in high school.
Sorry this is all over the place, posted from my phone.

S.M.H.I can't tell you how many "casting" calls for films/tv/etc ask how many twitter/social media followers you have or "looking for vine/insta/twitter famous". That way they can take advantage of an already built-in fan base for momentum. To me, that's lazy (if your content is good, people will watch), but for others it's easy marketing.
I know there have been threads before...*cough* 3 year old BHS *cough* and that one dad with his kid on the Today Show who was like 2 ish or so.
However, this video just popped up on my feed:
And was kinda surprised Cheer Daily shared it. Honestly, it makes me uncomfortable for a lot of different reasons.
I looked into the comments only to see how old the kid was; since she clearly isn't talking and wearing a onesie I was assuming 18 months though it appears I wasn't far off since she is 20 months; but in the comments someone linked to all her social media accounts. Her videos date back to pre-18 months.
As a mom of a Tiny aged CP (been in the sport since she was 4, turning 7 now); I get that it's cute and they're pretty adorable most of the time, but it seems excessive. I guess every time I saw it mentioned here I thought it was a joke.
I don't do a lot of social media that is cheer related unless it's a special event so this type of stuff doesn't pop up for me often...but is this like a legit trend that is growing or as these parents like the out-liars of the bunch?
