FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Below: what counts as dad content on a worldwide bio screen, why no country or audience figure appears, and the limits of the score itself.

01Why did so many bios naming dad get removed?

A bio phrase only proves the word is there; it says nothing about what the account actually posts. Checking all 121 bios that reached judgement against this page's own title found most of them belonged to some other profession or craft with dad tacked on, or were built around an identifiable child, a pet, or the poster's own parents instead of the poster's own fatherhood.

02Why is there no country or audience-location figure on these cards?

A worldwide page never had a home country to measure a share against in the first place. In its place, the index reads what each bio itself says about fatherhood, a substitute that always counts for less than an actual measured audience share would.

03How large are these accounts?

The range runs 282,126 to 964,900 followers. Third place holds the smallest account and fourth the largest, proof that the index weighs engagement, reach and audience authenticity against size instead of simply sorting by follower count.

04Why don't kids' family channels or pet dog-dad accounts appear on this list?

Neither one is a dad speaking for himself. Any account built around an identifiable child came out regardless of score, whatever its caption said, and the same went for cat dads, dog dads and other pet owners: owning a pet does not make somebody a father.

05Why is the follower band so wide, 280,000 to 1,000,000?

To hold the entire worldwide population inside it, not a sample of it. Set narrower, a real worldwide dad account above a low ceiling would simply disappear; left open at the top, the query would return more accounts than could ever be read in full.

06What can the score not tell me?

It says nothing about pricing, current availability, or whether last month's content actually fits a specific brief. It reflects four measurements from a single day, set only against the other 24 accounts on this page. Use the order as a starting point for research, and confirm anything else directly.
