new to forum. can we DM here? I just made this post on another thread... if anyone can restore my account I will pay you!
VERY similar situation here! (in fitness, just over 100k followers)
I was getting min. 4k organic followers a month and up to 6k. i started using a social media expansion service (follow/unfollow and like boost) I discontinued with them in february and turned off robolike then too because I had the feeling I was being throttled. it's now may and my following it 600 per month... it's been like this since jan/feb now. I get a lot of people watching my story (2-3k) but engagement on posts is at 0.7 - 1% . I don't even care about growing anymore, I just want my acount to be functioning normally...
(interesting side note, when carousel was launched, i didn't have it for two weeks until I wrote IG about it and then I had it within 24 hours...)
*edit I am going back now 27 weeks and deleting every post I did hashtags in first comment
