Our Instagram numbers do the same. Gain a bunch, lose a bunch. Only really move forward a little bit at a time.
I also don't really like the platform but it does seem to be the favored Social Channel for the younger demographic that we are all trying to capture. May be a necessary evil. Time will tell but I will not waste much time on it myself.

I like your page on Insta, it's good! Definitely keeping it real, unlike many brands that are so cheesy on instsa. Followed.
