Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the fake follower detection?+

Our Authenticity agent blends 4 signals: follower pattern analysis, like-to-comment anomalies, engagement pod clustering, and follower velocity. It runs on every creator in our database and contributes 20% to the overall CreatorScore. Accuracy is validated against known botted accounts in our training set.

Will brands see this score?+

Yes — brands running campaign vetting through CreatorScore see the Authenticity score as part of the 7-agent breakdown. If your audience is clean, this is a major selling point. If it's flagged, fixing it should be your top priority before pitching to brands.

What if I have fake followers I didn't buy?+

Natural follower decay, inactive accounts, and spam accounts all get filtered in the scoring. You're only penalized for signals of deliberate fraud (pods, purchased spikes, botnet clustering). The scoring is designed to be fair to legitimate creators with some inactive followers.

Can I fix a low authenticity score?+

Yes. Stop using engagement pods, avoid follower growth services, and run a cleanup pass to block obvious bots. The score rebuilds over time as your natural engagement catches up.
