Who lost the most number of followers after #Instapurge?

Alixandra Caole Vila - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines -  Instagram just started removing fake accounts from its app, and those who believe that losing followers is equivalent to a definitive social suicide are not pleased about it.

Labeled as 'Instapurge' and 'Instragram Rapture,' this crackdown on spam accounts has generated a lot of angry reactions from those who had worked so hard to gain followers. To express their annoyance and distraught, users who lost followers posted enraged comments on the official account of Instagram asking the app to stop removing followers.

Meanwhile, not everyone is not okay with the Instapurge.

Below is the list of Instagram accounts that lost the most number of followers. Why are we not surprised that Instagram itself is at the top of the list?
