i knew this in my gut the day mark bought instagram that this was gonna happen

Money brings money. Instagram worths a lot and they are doing their move, that's it and we need to accept that.
Everyone should have the possibility to monetize their business.

i run a 99K car pages, engagement has dropped from 2,200 likes per photo down to like 1,750-1,900 the past few days, seems like i've been stuck in the 1,700-2,300 like range since i had like 57K months ago, i don't know what's up, all my followers are real and i grow pretty slow and only post the greatest, eye-catching cars but can't get my likes to go up per photo, other pages i work with seem the same, even 150K+ pages only get like 300-400 more likes per photo and i rarely post ads or SFS since i gain followers through mass follow/unfollow, who knows, if they make it so not all of our followers see our posts like on Facebook i might just smash my head through my drywall

i think that saturated niches are getting low engagement

more and more


you need to find a way to be very unique

That has nothing to do with it

Can confirm that his is totally happening to one of my smaller accounts used to get 600 likes around 2-3 weeks ago it feels like exponentially my user activity is shrinking

Seems now instagram going fb route where only way to progress is via ads.

Why would some have a drop and not others?
