How Was the Data Collected?
In order to obtain the number of followers, four social media in which the
influencers have the highest presence at the moment have been taken as a
reference: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. In all cases, profiles
or pages must be public (i.e. not private or closed access) and, in the case
of Facebook, the number of followers is taken, not the number of likes on
the page.
