Across confirmed channels, GT World added an average of 1,274 new followers per day during the period.
GT World currently operates as a distributed approach with different Instagram and Facebook pages per region · 5 active Instagram accounts with no primary, one TikTok account, one YouTube channel (@gtworld), and no primary Facebook page. Instagram and Facebook are being transitioned into global GT World Challenge accounts (@gtworldchallenge as primary), consolidating the brand under a single worldwide presence. All regional and sibling accounts will be moved into dormant feeder accounts that republish and drive content to the main account. The figures in this report reflect the single active account per platform.
