This doesn't really feel like news. 100k not showing up to a concert? That's news. But these could be bots or Facebook just adjusting stuff behind the scenes.

Yeah, exactly. In terms of online followers it's just not that big a change. Even in this article they say she has just over 100 mil followers right now.

I'm sure that a few bots and angry basement goblins unfollowed her, but it's much more likely a little whoopdedoo in the datastream.

Holy shit, this article is based on just a 0.1% change? That’s not a statistically significant change over the course of a month.
