My question is what sense does it make even as a passion to grow a meme page?

hi everyone. I have decided to create an account on instagram which I will try to grow mostly organically, my personal goal is about 2k followers before the new year. Although, I am quite stuck in terms of understanding what is the meta in this niche.

I am looking for some advice on how to grow a meme page which primarily focuses on reposting popular funny clips and brainrot-ish content, similar to the pages which are in abundance all on instagram (eg. image attached). Few thing I have personally understood are as follows, all these accounts follow a mostly strict guideline about their posts - short-form videos with something silly, drastic or hilarious happening in them. In rare cases they happen to post some sort of video edits of celebs or footballers. Additionally they also use the same caption for the videos. They might mix it up once in a while, but it's mostly the same texts. Lastly, I have also noticed that they all use just one cover for all the videos they have on their account. Now that I am finished with describing all of this, Some of their results are beyond my understanding. It's not shown here in the image, but today I found an account that consistently hit 3mil on views through and through the entire summer (the timeline I tracked). What piece(s) of the puzzle am I missing? Am I just supposed to spam upwards of 30 to 40 videos a day and hope for the best? (something I have seen on the account I mentioned previously).

All advice is welcome!

Thank u all

I know people posting unto 25x a day, but they slowly warm up their account to be posting at that much quantity.

that being said, you should first start posting 2-3 clips a day and see how many views they get you, you have abundance of content to repost, but I recently tried doing a similar thing but noticed that the views and engagement was extremely limited compared to my pages posting original / ai content

would be interested in learning more if you figure out how to get engagement by just reposting content

my DMs are open for discussion as well

first of all I want to thank you for all the advice. and Secondly, I think I have gotten some sort of foot in the door in this niche if you can even call it a niche since almost anything goes in the brainrot category. There has been some difficulties recently with getting any kind of traction, I am not the only one affected. One other page I have contacted who is in the same boat as me has also highlighted the shift in algorithm. From my personal observation for other pages it's also a same kind of problem, But besides all of this I managed to get few videos semi "viral" before the shift. In regards to the content, I just add a filter, maybe a simple text saying something regarding the videos content. In most cases no touch up is needed whatsoever. Timing of my videos also been all over the place, but I have highlighted two ranges which are the sweet spot for me personally, those being 5:00PM-8:00PM ET as well as 7:00AM-9:00AM ET. This is really all I can say for now. I hope traction will come back tho, I am still very much small with only 55 followers so I can't rely on followers carrying me through the drought for now lol.

That seems pretty good! People will rarely follow for popular reposted content, I myself don't even if I like/save, so the low follower count is justified

Interested in knowing your account setup process, was this a new account or a purchased old account, and if there was a warm-up process

Fresh ash. Literally created it the day I posted the first post. No warmup. More like “trying to figure out things” phase in the beginning and now readjustment. Changed the captions and the engagement with likes and everything is back. 150k view vid from yesterday as well as consistent views on others in the range of few K. I think my main niche is some sort of “out of pocket” remarks comments or dialogues. Those get the most on my account. But yeah the accounts was fresher than the farmers markets produce

I see, how many videos did you post before you started seeing traction? And may I know how your first post performed
