Is it actually worth buying Instagram engagement?
-
I know people who bought likes and their reach tanked after a few weeks.
-
Buying engagement might boost appearances short-term, but genuine growth always comes from real interactions and consistent content.
-
Without knowing your account at all, it sounds like a content issue first and foremost.
Are you posting reels or just static pictures?
I think it is hard these days to grow organically on image focused accounts when there is considerably more discoverability on reels.
Yes, having less followers makes other people less likely to follow you, but growth largely will come from people stumbling on your content and following you directly from the post and never even visiting your profile.
Worry less about the optics and more about the content.

I think buying engagement is basically buying a mirage. It can make your profile look alive for a minute, but it doesn’t trick the algorithm or bring real followers. If you want growth, you’re better off investing that money into content that feels shareable or testing ads, fake likes don’t move the needle long term.
-
Never.
It’s better to hire someone who knows how to crack the algorithm than trying to pump up your ego with fake followers.
-
No and it’s really really easy to spot accounts that buy their engagement. I unfollow when I notice. Other people I know do the same.
-
I don’t recommend it as most of these likes/followers are not from real users and may lead to account suspension as well.
-
No it’s not
-
I fell for these promises many years ago and bought followers – account got deleted permanently and I had to start all over again. Not worth it.
-
If anything, it is damaging. The only real shortcut that works is to stop wasting time looking for shortcuts and spend the time doing the real work.

No. It isn’t worth it. Since those metrics are bought, they’re not generating any legitimate engagement and when you stop paying, those numbers go away.
The other thing that happens that is less discussed is this. The demographics of those paid numbers will make it impossible to analyze your metrics to find out who actually is following you and who engaging because it’s diluted with profiles and people only interested in being a number on your account because you’re paying them. That means analytics on your account are useless.
Perhaps you need to more clearly defined and differentiate your account from the many others out there like yours.
What actually is the purpose of your account? If you are trying to develop this for your personal satisfaction, if it engagement with people who love what you post, then engage with those people and develop relationships with them.
If you were trying to sell a product, then you really need to differentiate your brand from every other person out there showing images like yours. Do you have a business plan? What is your marketing strategy? What is your financial goal?
FYI- am a former social media marketing consultant. I built a Facebook Dog account to honor my dog and it has over 13,000 organic followers and my posts have reached as high as 2000 responses per post. How did I do it? I knew what my goal was and I knew how to differentiate my Dog page from a zillion other Dog pages. And I focused on quality engagement with each and every one of my followers. I made them feel welcomed and valued because they were.

it will make your acc “look” famous but it’ll never bring any traction to you. most of the accs are also bots which can trigger instagram and make your acc downranked afterwards. it looks tempting but don’t fall for it. it’s also a hard to break circle if the problem is within your content, copywriting, etc. you’ll need to buy engagement consistently, starting to buy from likes to followers to comments to views, you’ll end up spending bucks on it
-
Who do you want to trick into thinking you have great posts worthy of hundreds of thousands of followers?
It’s so fake. Everyone will know and it’s just off putting.
Listen, you’ll have 100,000 followers but still have like 100 likes on your posts.
-
No.

It’s a temporary boost that ultimately sabotages your reach. It’s painfully obvious when someone has purchased followers. Those accounts don’t actively engage with your content. Average post engagement is around 3% (# of interactions on post * 100 = x; divide x by # of followers to get %)
If I’m seeing 20-50 likes regularly on an account with 7500 followers, that’s a problem. (Real example)But the real problem is instagram’s algorithm sees this data and decides your content must suck
