1. What happened after the social network was blocked
First the platform turned off ads for users in Russia. Then came the full block in the country.
Many creators said goodbye and moved to other platforms. The day after the block, reach dropped but not by much. Users adapted. We adapted too – mass following and mass liking became the main way to grow an audience and get clients.
The platform's own report for Europe and all apps showed they lost 4,000,000 users. Given Russia's population, that's a small share. So finding clients on Instagram is still possible.
2. What's happening with mass following now
Mass following and mass liking still work. Because people use VPNs, Instagram has become stricter and added more checkpoints (proof you're human). So accounts get logged out more often and you need to confirm your account in the service again.
People worry that the account will be banned, but it won't if you pass Instagram's checks in time. Then just confirm the account in the service and you're good.
3. How to promote on Instagram in 2023
If you want to promote your product, blog or service on Instagram but are afraid of a block, we suggest creating a backup account that posts similar content and mentions your main account where you run your blog and talk about your product or service.
You can run several such accounts that bring followers or clients to your site or marketplace. Your main account stays safe from checks and blocks. You can create many backup accounts and promote via mass following.
You can use a backup account not only for mass following but also for direct message campaigns.
