Instagram Explore

If I drive insane amount of likes on photo or video will it show up on explore even though likes are fake?

That's a good question... I'm interested too.

potentially yes, but it can also damage your engagement permanently.

Depends. Instagram can detect fakes and, in the best case, just ignore it. On the other hand likes from high quality accounts will do the job. I'm also curious if anyone had success with high amounts of low quality likes.

I just hit explore page several times. I can say that the algo works with sth like a score system and if it detects fake like you get a decrease of your score.

TIP: When you post, then engage with people in your niche like, comment, follow 10-15 minutes after you post. I don't know why but it'll give you a little boost. Also engagement group are a help as well.

My recent post got 20k growing and I only had 3.1k follower when I posted it and now I have 3.4k
