Just had a rather fascinating thought. If I were running Instagram I would definitely prioritize users who spend money on the platform. I would give them hidden benefits and improve their overall experience in any way possible. Surely Instagram / Facebook does this? In particular, any accounts which spend money on Instagram can’t possibly be spam… can they? Why would Instagram block the spenders which they so desperately desire?
