There’s a lot of content explaining how to grow your account, what to do and what not to do etc etc. Algorithm likes this and doesn’t like that. Actually I don’t understand if things are working certain way, why some good content has few likes/comments or followers and some bad content has hundreds of thousands? Also, I see people who have like 12K followers and they make some post with CTA asking for a comment. How is it possible that this person has literally zero comments and 8 likes? If this person is exposed to non-followers and some of the followers, how is it possible that there’s nobody who would interact? Even if the post is bad for example?

All together makes me think what’s the point in having followers? And isn’t it all about luck and not about following some trends and rules?

I occasionally boosted my posts. Not very often, and it used to have high estimated reach numbers. Now it’s like 300-400 no matter what budget I set. I googled and of course found this “problem” is already present for a number of weeks.
There’s no point in running ads like this so my question is if everyone knows or could find info on this? Is this now how it’s going to be or it’s some weird glitch?

Also, it seems like everything is getting worse. I see some accounts with average or not really “wow” content having ridiculous amount of followers and likes…what’s with that?

Sorry if this subject already appeared in discussions but I’m just not experienced with this and wondering what’s going on.
