## Resource

Ever feel like Instagram is working against you instead of for you? You're not alone. In this episode, Yvonne Ashton, Ali Zimmerman, and Ana Romero from the Mayesh marketing team get brutally honest about Instagram's biggest frustrations—from the 90-second song limit and shadow-banning to the verification process that feels impossible, the collaboration caps that hurt our industry, and the scheduling limitations that disrupt workflow. But we're not just complaining—we're sharing real solutions, workarounds, and strategies that help us navigate these challenges while still building community and reaching florists. If you've ever wondered whether you're "doing Instagram wrong" or if the platform really is just this difficult—this episode is for you. Topics covered: The link-in-caption paywall problem Why new accounts don't get features immediately Video quality compression issues The 5-person collaboration limit Scheduling Reels challenges for seasonal businesses Algorithm changes and shadow-banning anxiety Practical workarounds: Edits app, Repost feature, autoresponders What we'd fix about Instagram tomorrow Join the conversation and remember: you're more than your engagement rate.
