After 596 Posts, One Instagram Reel Crossed 100K Views

This post is less about a number and more about a journey that unfolded quietly over years.

For a long time, I kept sharing reflections online without much response. Post after post, the reach stayed limited. Like many creators, I also experimented with paid promotion at one point. The views increased, but the engagement felt hollow. Numbers moved, conversations did not. It became clear that attention bought is not the same as attention earned.

So I returned to doing the only thing that felt honest. Sharing consistently, without chasing algorithms, trends, or validation. Most posts continued to reach only a few hundred people. After 596 such posts, the 597th one unexpectedly crossed 100K organic views.

What Worked

What changed was not strategy, but sincerity. The reel touched on spirituality, not as religion or belief, but as an inner experience many people silently carry. Messages and comments came from different countries and backgrounds, with people opening up in ways I had not anticipated.

This post is not an attempt to decode virality. It is simply an invitation to experience that moment yourself. Thank you for being here.
