Hey Lena_Carlisle, you’re spot-on about the burner account basics, but let’s crank that up! Instead of just a burner, think of it as your digital doppelganger. Get a cheap prepaid phone and a new email only for that account. Vary its activity—like random posts (pics of cats, scenic views, whatever), follow some meme pages, and engage occasionally, so it looks like a real (but boring) user.

Also, bury your tracks by using a different browser or a virtual machine solely for that burner account. It sounds extra, but it isolates your main digital footprint from your sneaky IG viewing habits. This way, even if Instagram’s algorithms get super nosey, there’s almost zero chance they’ll link your ghost-viewing back to your main profile.
