We treat ~2.1% as the 2026 Instagram midpoint for this industry (comment-heavy relative to likes; live platforms often matter more than the Instagram grid). Across these 9 lists the catalog averages 2.9%. Nano and micro accounts should beat the midpoint; mega accounts can sit below it and still be useful for reach.

Each list blends follower count, engagement and posting consistency. Verified public figures with self-hosted photos surface first when we have them. 492 verified public figures appear across this hub. Open any list for the follower-tier mix, geography and planning-rate ranges.
