Spent $12 testing boosts vs a free trick from a guy at a Denver coffee shop, guess which one flopped
A barista in Denver noticed my phone propped up filming my latte art and said his shop grew to 4,000 followers just by replying to every comment within an hour of posting. I tried that free method on my pottery account for two weeks while also running a $12 boost on one reel, and the replies got me 300 real followers while the boosted reel got 40 likes from what looked like bot accounts. Has anyone else noticed paid reach feeling deader than just talking to people in your comments?
