18K Following

How this account able to follow 18k users?

I don't think there are limits for the people you follow, nor are there limits for the people who follow you. If you want to follow 18k people, start following right now

This is the message provided by Instagram about this :

To help reduce spam, Instagram doesn't allow anyone to follow more than 7,500 people. Anyone who tries to follow more than 7,500 people will see an error message, regardless of how many followers they have. Anyone who's currently following more than 7,500 people did so before this change was made.

Now ,
Or the account in the screenshot is called Anyone, or simply someone broke the Instagram algorithm and they are not really interested, or as they also specify "Anyone who's currently following more than 7,500 people did so before this change was made"

In my opinion, it is quite difficult to keep a platform used by so many millions of people without issues

The limit is 7.5k max.

It looks like they exploited the IG Algorithm.
