Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian among celebrities with the most 'fake followers' on social media

KIM and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are among a long list of celebrities who have the most "fake followers" on social media.

A recent study by TechRobot determined which celebrities had the most bots following their social media accounts.

A bot is a "software application that is programmed to do certain tasks," according to CloudFare.

"They are automated, which means they run according to their instructions without a human user needing to manually start them up every time.

"Bots often imitate or replace a human user's behavior, which is why it might be hard to determine if someone on social media is real or simply a bot."

You'd be shocked at the millions of bots your favorite celebs have.

PARIS HILTON

Followers on Instagram: 16.2 M

Fake followers: 4.4 M (28.6 percent)

Though she certainly doesn't depend on the money she makes through social media engagement, Paris is the celebrity with the biggest percent of fake followers on her followers' list.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN

Followers on Instagram: 145 M

Fake followers: 38.9 M (27.9 percent)

Among the Kardashian sisters, Kourtney comes on top with the highest percent of fake followers on her social media account.

Because the oldest sister uses her Instagram to promote her lifestyle brand, Poosh, it makes her a target for bots.

KRIS JENNER

Followers on Instagram: 43.1 M

Fake followers: 11.6 M (27.5 percent)

The momager comes next on the list as she tends to promote all of her children's business endeavors on her social media account.

Even though she's got fewer followers than her sisters, Kris's percentage is higher because she has the most bots.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN

Followers on Instagram: 188 M

Fake followers: 47.8 M (26.8 percent)

Khloe – who keeps appearing on video games, TV commercials, and IG posts promoting different products – has bots make up almost 30 percent of her following.

Scrolling through her comments on social media, it's plain to see that she's a target.

KIM KARDASHIAN

Followers on Instagram: 257 M

Fake followers: 64.1 M (26.1 percent)

For once, Kim does not come out on top among her sisters as ranks low on the list.

Kim is the second Kardashian-Jenner sister with the highest following, but seemingly, her followers are real people actually interested in what she's posting.

KYLIE JENNER

Followers on Instagram: 274 M

Fake followers: 67.2 M (25.8 percent)

Despite consistently promoting her multiple brands on her Instagram, Kylie seems to have the most genuine followers of the Kardashian sisters.

Her percentage of bots only comes to a 25 percent, which is a small price to pay when you're famous.

KENDALL JENNER

Followers on Instagram: 145 M

Fake followers: 38.9 M (25.5 percent)

Kendall is the second Kardashian-Jenner with the lowest amount of followers as she tends to keep her life more private.

The model also has 25 percent of fake followers on her Instagram, as she is a spokesperson for brands like Proactiv, Tiffany & Co., Longchamp, and Fendi.

ARIANA GRANDE

Followers on Instagram: 145 M

Fake followers: 66.2 M (25.4 percent)

Ariana Grande is one of the highest-earning Instagrammers and has one of the biggest followings of all time.

Her endorsement deals with brands like Givenchy, Reebok, Guess, and MAC have gotten her plenty of attention from bots.
