How the overlap is measured
Lurk maintains an anonymized, aggregate map of public Instagram follow relationships. To measure overlap, we intersect the following lists Lurk has mapped for each account and keep every account that appears on both. The overlap rate divides those 19 shared accounts by the 263 accounts on the smaller mapped list (@nike), giving 7.2%. Because Lurk maps a sampleof each account's following — deep for some accounts, shallower for others — the shared accounts shown here are a verified lower bound, and the rate reflects the mapped sample, not the full following. Only public accounts appear; no login, private data, or individual's activity is exposed.
