    Updated socialblade numbers. Alix Earle’s socialblade numbers continue to highlight how problematic The Bird Papaya is. According to socialblade in the last 30 days The Birds Papaya has gained 132,000 followers. Alix Earle has gained 51,700 followers. How on earth has The Birds Papaya gained 81,000 MORE followers than Alix Earle in only 30 days? Since the SI Swim show Alix Earle and boyfriend Braxton Berrios (famous NFL player, 500K followers on IG) attended Cannes and were featured all over the news. Alix spoke at Cannes and hosted events. Alix had multiple major brand launches. A spread print/online feature in ELLE USA. Alix and Paris Hilton launched a collab with fun videos. Style-wise Alix showed a glammed up shift post SI runway. Fans reactions to Alix’s new look, they love it. What has The Birds Papaya done in this timeline? She attended a press screening for Celine Dion’s documentary and she shook her butt with cowboy boots on. She’s had one feature on yahoo style.ca (paid) that also ran in the UK Mirror tabloid. The feature focused on a Mom who’s not afraid of cellulite. Alix Earle, a 23 year old model landed the 2024 cover of SI, walked the runway, used the moment and moved on. Meanwhile The Birds Payaya age 39.5 (mother of four) sits in her car in a Guelph Ontario parking lot. While trying to look like Alix Earle in her freshman era, The Birds Papaya goes on and on about her non-news worthy walk for SI(paid for by Knix a menstral product company). Make it make sense.

      It doesn’t make sense if we believe these are real people following Sarah. It only makes sense if she’s paid for all these new follows. The thing is she’s been making a big deal saying she received such negative feedback. You wouldn’t think any of those people would follow her. How does she explain this explosion in her follower count. When you stack it up directly beside Alix it makes zero sense. Have you looked at their TikTok numbers? I think Alix appeals more to the age group using that platform. TikTok does nothing for Sarah since Canadians don’t benefit as easily financially there as they can on IG.
