Does a celebrity truly read and/or respond to all of a fan’s DMs on Instagram? No, they do not. Big celebrities do not have the time to open and respond to every vague “hi” or “hello” message. Heck, even owning an account with a few thousand followers will get you tons of DMs that you can’t be bothered to answer.
What happens after 10k followers on Instagram?
Once you have 10k followers, Instagram will make it easier for you to get people to your website via Stories with the swipe up to link feature. Swipe up is the only way to get a direct link from your Instagram to your other web properties. And, it’s available in STORIES, if you have 10k followers.
