In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how to tell if your Instagram account is actually “dead” and whether starting over is the right move in 2026. He walks through the real reasons accounts experience low engagement, slow growth, or declining reach, and how to diagnose whether the issue is your content, consistency, or strategy—not your account age.

Brock also explains when restarting or rebranding an Instagram account makes sense, and when it’s better to fix what you already have. He’ll cover benchmarks for engagement, the difference between a shadowban and normal low reach, and how to recover from common issues like inconsistent posting or past mistakes. This episode is designed to help you make a clear, informed decision about whether to rebuild, rebrand, or double down on your current account.
