The creator of 'Trap Theory' discusses the challenge posed by ghost followers—accounts that do not interact with their content, which negatively affects Instagram's algorithm and visibility. To address this issue, three methods to remove ghost followers are outlined: manual identification, hiring an agency, and using specialized apps. Manual identification is deemed impractical for large accounts, while agencies, though effective, are costly. Specialized apps offer a more affordable solution but come with risks, such as breaching Instagram's terms of service. The creator recommends caution when using these apps and the practice of manual unfollowing to appear more authentic to Instagram, aiming to remove around 150 ghost followers to potentially boost future growth. Concluding the video, the creator thanks viewers and encourages engagement through likes, notifications, and questions.

In this segment, the creator discusses the issue of slowed growth for their page, ‘Trap Theory’, attributing it to ghost followers—followers who don’t interact with the content.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a method to identify and remove ghost followers from your Instagram account using an app. The app helps you manually unfollow ghost followers by identifying users who do not engage with your content. Though it’s not as efficient as using an agency, it is a cost-effective middle-ground option costing around $30 a year. The app is about 80% accurate, as it tracks engagement from only the last 20-25 posts. However, using such apps poses a risk due to requiring your Instagram login, which may breach Instagram’s terms of service. To mitigate risks, the speaker advises reducing the follow-for-follow activity and being cautious while using the app to avoid drawing Instagram’s attention.

The speaker plans to remove around 150 such followers to enhance future growth on their page. The segment concludes with thanks to the viewers, a request for likes and notifications, and an invitation to ask questions for further clarification.
