Check follower growth

I need today's follower report for my account so I can brief Damien before his 2 p.m. call. Pull total followers now, followers at 9 a.m., and net change since Monday. Flag any sudden spikes or drops and list the three videos that gained the most followers in the last 48 hours. Confirm the numbers match the account header before I present them.

Before I tell sponsors our audience is growing, make the follower trend easy to trust. Put the seven‑day net and percentage change at the top, show daily follower counts in a single clear line, and call out any day with more than a 3% change. If growth came from a single video, name that video, the date it posted, and its view count.

Yesterday follower count jumped 1,200 overnight and I don't know why; procurement wants a plain explanation for the spike before the pitch. Tell me the likely causes to check first, the two metrics that will confirm whether it's organic or paid, and the next defensive message I should give sponsors if it was a paid spike.

Over the last six months every monthly report has at least one unexplained follower spike and I waste hours verifying. Where should I build a single checklist or habit to catch paid boosts, cross‑platform promotions, or bot activity before reports leave my desk? Recommend one place to log the checks and the three rules I must run without fail.
