Crazy engagement on regular accs

Hi! Maybe I have a weird question.
Where does this high engagement on posts come from on such types of accs?
Examples;
https://instagram.com/sinusqw
https://instagram.com/luwwia
https://instagram.com/kaeya.ky
They are just randomly pop up in my recommendations and I just can’t understand how? I checked that they are not some kind of YouTube or tiktok stars which can get traffic from another social media, just regular persons. I’m asking because I’ve met TONS of accs with similar content type and posting frequency, which are not growing and way far from such crazy engagement

Some good finding but I also have struggles understanding that engagement. Followers and likers seems to be legit…

@thetraveller , yeah, it’s strange and it’s seems they don’t use methods such as F/UF or M/S , and IG ads for such big engagement would be too expensive since many of such accs are regular teenagers and some of them from countries with low wages… Is this luck? Some accs look blessed by algorithm nowadays

No I don’t think that’s pure luck. Some clever techniques used by Russians. (Good nailing for them again)

@thetraveller It’s interesting what kind of techniques they use. I met Russian services (I speak Russian haha) that had a system of something like exchanging likes and comments, where there were real people, not bots. But that was a couple of years ago, before major changes in the algorithm, I don’t know if it works now, because it looks like engagement groups. I thought now this method will not help to break through to the main page in the recommendations

Its doable with IG ADs for enagagement and shit targeting.

EDIT:
But Kaeya.ky has 45k likes at Album photos (not possible to make ads). So my theory is wrong.

@ciras hmm, maybe she used some kind of services for engagement? I checked that some comments on this 45k post are just emojis or bots promoting their stuff

Purchased like fom panel.
There are several panel gives like at 2$/1000 likes and 3-4$/1000 followers. He has used that.
