How this ranking is made

IGDataHub reads the public profiles of the accounts it tracks and stores each follower count with the time of the reading. For every account we compare the earliest reading in the first two days of the week with the latest reading in the last two days.
Readings fall on different days, so the gain is scaled to seven days; the actual readings and their dates are in the CSV.
Readings we can't trust are left out: counts Instagram returned rounded, one-off readings that jump and fall straight back, and readings taken before a handle passed to a different account (see the methodology).
This covers the accounts in IGDataHub's index, not every Instagram account. Only accounts that grew are listed.
Each week is published once and never recomputed, so this URL always shows the same numbers.
