Social networks sometimes see a rise in their popularity from the most unexpected sources. It’s a well-known truth that some major companies are reluctant to admit that porn is a huge business, and it’s not by random chance that it’s one of the most successful entertainment industries. And with that in mind, it really shouldn’t be surprising to hear that Instagram have been enjoying a significant boost in the popularity of their service thanks to Mia Khalifa.
Recently, some news publications have noted that Instagram managed to quickly become one of the hottest social networks of the moment, thanks to Mia Khalifa primarily. Currently, her followers seem concentrated on Instagram more than anywhere else – she has about a hundred thousand followers on Facebook, 400 thousand on Twitter, and over 600 thousand on Instagram.
It’s pretty clear that Mia’s fans love to follow her on Instagram above all other social networks – but does this really speak for Instagram’s popularity on its own, or should we consider the context as well? Because in the end, what most of Mia’s fans are looking for, are pictures – that’s the primary reason they subscribe to her. And the best network for sharing pictures in large volumes is precisely Instagram.
Of course, Facebook and Twitter still dominate the market in other areas, and there’s no doubt that, considering raw user numbers, Facebook is still miles ahead of the competition. However, Facebook also has a strict anti-porn policy in place, and the content on that network is managed in a more family-friendly way.
While Instagram also has policies in place for adult content, the network tends to be a bit more relaxed in this regard, making it a popular platform for porn stars and other members of the adult entertainment industry. And Mia’s fans definitely seem to be enjoying her regular stream of photos, as the number of her subscribers has managed to go up drastically over a very short period of time.
The star is currently at the peak of her popularity, and she’s one of the hottest topics in online discussions right now (no pun intended). It’s not all about her performance, however – even though Mia Khalifa’s fans are always eager to praise her on her acting skills, a large part of her success has been due to her smart use of social networks. As far as the adult industry goes, she’s one of the more active entertainers online, and considering that this is exactly where pretty much all of her fans are, it makes sense for her to focus a lot of her attention on promoting herself online. She seems to be handling that great so far, and it’s working out for her.
