How Much Instagram Paid Me. I made a total of $0 from those 10 million total views. Unlike TikTok, Instagram Reels lack the creator fund feature. This means that you don't get paid by reel plays, even after 10 million views.
Unfollowing limit
Don't do it all at once. If you unfollow more than 150 per day, your account could get temporarily banned.
If you're losing followers, it could be as simple as an Instagram glitch. Some accounts are seeing their follower count decrease only to see it go right back up again within a few days. Or it could be a mass cleanup by Instagram where they're going through and removing inactive accounts or bot/spam accounts.
