Saw this answer to the followers question.
Does buying followers hurt your Instagram?
Yes, it does!
There are several reasons for that:
- Instagram knows what you are doing so that it may punish (=ban) you for doing such.
- Bought followers won’t be active and they won’t add any value to your Instagram presence. They will only increase your number of followers for some time. So eventually you will lose money and credibility in Instagram’s eyes.
- Your account will also suffer from Instagram’s algorithm perspective. Why? Currently, it appreciates the most accounts with high engagement. But with bought followers (or likes) you won’t have that engagement as those people are in fact not interested in your content.
Conclusion? Buying followers, likes or comments on Instagram is not worth your time and money. Eventually, you can only lose.
