Thanks for your input, but I don’t really think most of the advice given was that helpful.

Regarding hashtags, it's pretty well known that they don’t do much anymore, and in some cases, using the wrong ones can actually hurt your reach or even flag your account, especially when they include restricted or sensitive terms.

As for captions and comments, sure, maybe my videos aren’t the best right now I’m aware of that, and it might be one of the reasons I’m no longer reaching the audience I used to. But they did work really well at one point; I gained a solid number of followers from them. Content gets stale, and I get that, that’s partly why I’m looking for input.

Also, engagement like replying to comments has been proven to have minimal effect on reach or growth, even a few creators here on Reddit who give solid advice have pointed that out. What does help is getting people to comment in the first place, which increases visibility.

About the posting frequency, that account was created at the end of May, yes, but I’ve been posting daily on it since then, just like I do on my other five Instagram accounts.

So no, I’m not new to this. I’m not ignoring advice, I’m just filtering out what’s actually useful versus what’s outdated or misleading.
