Yeah, I've seen that pattern play out a bunch on Instagram mostly. A reel pops off, followers roll in quick, but then half of them ghost your regular content—like they're just tourists who dipped in for the viral moment and bounced. On TikTok it's even wilder; sometimes the spike brings super mismatched people who never vibe with your usual stuff, so retention stays low and the algo stops showing you to anyone. Lately I've been peeking at different tools to track what's actually sticking around longer term. For example, checking out the smm world order tracking helped me spot some weird dips in engagement after boosts or spikes—it's just a personal thing I use to keep an eye on numbers without overthinking it. Honestly though, the real fix seems to be doubling down on consistent niche content right after the spike hits, otherwise those new folks vanish fast. Anyone else notice the same?
