Instagram puts a limit on how many people you can follow every day to prevent accounts from spamming or breaking the community guidelines. Instagram wants you to follow accounts to enjoy the photos that are uploaded on those accounts, not to make comments for self-promotion.
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.
