I can see that. Certain niches and certain areas are so competitive on IG. The one thing I've noticed though is if you put in just a little more effort then you get disproportionate return on that. For example my wife takes 10 to 15 minutes per post to write up her thoughts. It's like a mini blog post and just that little time and caring goes a long way because anybody who sees the post instantly can tell there is a real caring person behind it. Not just an automated algorithmic approach.
Yes people can tell when there's love behind an IG, that goes a long way.

Do you have your wife post her topic appropriate personal pics on rare occasions so females know it's not an automated IG, or a man behind the account?

Tip: I've always had a couple backup IG posts handy for those lucky times where you hit a high traffic sweet spot where follows & likes are high after a post. I'll post another in a few minutes, with the same hashtags, to milk that result just in case the post wasn't the reason, it gave me better than average returns about 50% of the time.
