Since some people want to limit who can see their story and make certain things private so others won’t see, Instagram allowed people to hide their story from certain followers. When blocking someone from seeing your story, they won’t be able to see your story.
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.
