I have had a blue check for a while, I havent noticed any signifigant changes is engagement or response rate. I haven't heard anyone that even checks to see if their real or paid for. That being said, if the cost isnt.a factor to you, then go for it. If you have some side hustle that you make money from, go for it Same concept with the twitter check - One of my twitter accounts in monetized and makes around 75 bucks a month just from me trolling tweets, I can justify paying for twitter simply because of that

Tested this out. Option 1 replying to an ig story. Gets past the one message, and allows you to send a second message. But still no pictures Option 2. Sending their own picture You can send them their own picture as many times as you want and add different messages. But definitely looks weird. Can’t send additional pictures Option 3. Sending them a picture on your feed Works the same as the last 3 None of the options give you the ability to unsend your message. So you’re still at the will of whether they open it and reply, but at least you can send 2 messages. I do know a way to bypass it all together, and whether you want and be able to unsend. But won’t discuss it publically

If your phone supports it - shoot video in 4k then you can always scale it down to 1080p using a video editing app like capcut or video lut

Ask a couple people to send you 1-2 off their favorite songs for the event. Add them all to a spotify playlist, and then spotify also has an option to fill in more songs with AI. Create a whole playlist of people recommendations and put it on shuffle. That way everyone gets excited at some point because their favorite song comes on
