LOW ENGAGEMENT or Paranoia?

[bonito84]

Sorry for my english, hi.

I've 2 main accounts with my stuff, one with 21k and the other one with 15k. The 15k one has a lot of fake followers, I used some shitty apps in the past...

The thing is that I am using Instagress as always (yeah, still working for me) but I noticed a LOW overall engagement in both accounts, and my content is the same.

I don't know if I am being paranoid about this shit or if you guys noticed this thing too.

People is still following me like always, but likes and comments are much lower now.

(I don't think I'm shadow banned, my posts appear normally if I use hashtags, etc)

Thank you so much!

You should look again what kind of content you are sharing, maybe try to test with a couple of different but related content, for example a video.

I got 3 accounts almost the same niche with exactly the same "source" of followers but 1 of them got 2k more followers than the other 2..

Just test i think no one could tell you exactly what's Happening if we can't see it

OP your content is not engaging, Try to post some interesting stuff which make people like and comments. Posting basic stuff not going to help you, try to use memes i see people using them and getting lots of likes.

Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it's just the content/copy because if I ask ppl to comment stuff I get like 150 comments. Regular posts are the ones with low engagement/likes. I post the same "boring posts" in a "secret" account of 2k and I receive more likes than in the 15k page, lol. Hard to believe

You are probably shadow-banned, so you might want to check into that.

Why do you say that? There is a lot of people out there claiming that they're shadow banned and it's clearly more about engagement and IG's algorithms.

Well, there's only one way to find out if you're shadow banned:

• make a post on each of your accounts and add a random hashtag
• login to an account that is not following any of your account that you're having problems with
• search your random hashtag that you used and see if the posts show up

If your posts are not there, you are shadow banned.

haha, yeah, I've read that searching at Google a lot of times. I don't usually use hashtags, but I did that test and my posts appear normally. My hashtags are working.

Then I don't know. Many likes and comments received in the past may have come from bots. With Instagress/Massplanner shut down maybe that's why you're seeing a drop in engagement.

Instagress still works for me, and there are other bots too. But ok bro, tnx for your help
