This is super helpful, thanks! I’ve been looking for a way to give my new account a bit of life, and this sounds like a good first step. I’ll give it a shot and see what kind of results I get.

Yes! I’ve actually done that and had a decent experience with it. When my account was brand new and I had like 3 likes on a post, it just felt dead. I decided to Buy Instagram likes on a few posts that I felt deserved more attention. It really did help kickstart engagement — not just from the bought likes, but real people started reacting too. I think once a post crosses a certain visibility threshold, the algorithm gives it a bit more breathing room. It wasn’t an overnight explosion, but it helped enough to get things going. I’d say it’s a smart move if you’re trying to stand out early on.
