The rapture has begun and Justin Bieber has suffered as a result.

Instagram has been promising all year to remove inactive or fake accounts from follower / following lists.

A statement posted to the site says: "When we remove accounts from Instagram that don't follow our Community Guidelines, you may see a decrease in your follower count. This shouldn’t affect engagement from authentic accounts that like and comment on your posts."

As Business Insider has revealed, a lot of these accounts were deactivated by Instagram a while ago: all that's happening is they're now being deleted.
