I see a ton of people doing MLM and affiliate stuff on there so I feel like people must be making money or they wouldn't be doing it, but it seems very limiting to me that each post can't have a link only the bio so your either posting about one subject matter or constantly changing your bio link as a marketer.

I'm not really that active on Instagram but with the bots shutting down I'm guessing account growth would slow down as well since I imagine probably a lot of the followers people were gaining were bots that liked everything in that niche.
