Data Source: Instagram scraping via Python

Tool: Python, Tableau

Everyday we are inspired by all the insightful and beautiful visualizations shared on social media. As a new visualization contributor in the social media world, we thought it would be interesting to see how many Instagram followers some of our favorite creators, bloggers, and organizations currently have. Also, to see if there are any relations between number of posts shared and follower count.

Interestingly enough, there does seem to be a link between number of followers and number of posts, with the exception of – Chartr and Information is Beautiful, they have considerably high follower counts at a lower number of posts.

Statista is a company specializing in consumer and market data. They have research, statistics, and datasets ranging from several areas of topics and industries. By far, they have the most followers (over 616,000) and also have posted the most with nearly 2,000 posts going back to December 2015.

We are not affiliated with any of the data visualizers on this graphic. However, we do thank them for their inspiration through their work and contribution to the world of data visualization.

If there are any other data visualizers we should have included, please let us know!
