Private profile method

Hi guys,

I saw a lot accounts 1m+ followers that are private...always seeing other accounts posting a video from that main acc and video is something like very interesting, but they stop the video so you can't see the end.
On the end of the video is a message like " follow @xyz to see the whole video", but that user is private so you request the following to see the video...

I mean I only saw that on big accounts...is that something only big accounts are doing, or that tactic is the reason they are big

Common tactic for accounts to do this after shoutouts. Works really well for babe accounts.

Usually what will happen is the profile will be public and then set itself to private afterwords for follows.
Only downside is if its actually viral content it can't be shared around in groups.
