Is direct linking on Instagram completely dead right now or am I doing it wrong?

[diegomedia]

I hit a huge wall with IG organic traffic lately and honestly need some advice. It feels like whenever I try dropping a basic CPA link in my bio or stories my reach just completely dies and the account gets shadowbanned instantly. I know direct linking is risky now but making custom bridge pages for every single low payout offer takes way too much time. Are you guys still finding ways to direct link on there without the algorithm noticing or is a solid landing page pretty much mandatory at this point to keep accounts alive? Would really appreciate any tips on what is actually working for you all right now.

*making custom bridge pages for every single low payout offer* Yeah.

Altering test and adding a few images on a GUI template dashboard is fast--but at a price.
I’d code three landing-page templates on my server and dynamically insert the text and images.
That’s how I’d handle lower-value offers when direct linking isn’t viable.

The usage and ROI would need to justify the time (labor) cost.

Landing pages seem pretty much mandatory at this point. Direct linking on IG is too risky with the shadowban triggers.
