Hit 2000 followers on my art insta and it was the weirdest milestone

I've been posting my digital paintings for about 8 months now and somehow hit 2000 followers last Tuesday. The weird part is I gained like 800 of them from one piece I did of a neon cityscape at night that only took me 2 hours. It's not even my best work but it just blew up on the explore page. Has anyone else had a random piece way outperfom stuff you spent days on?

Do you think the algorithm just favors certain compositions or colors for some random reason, or was it pure luck with timing?

Point @viola_garcia56 toward how the simple things usually catch people off guard.

Pure luck? I can't believe some people actually get famous just because the wind blew right at the perfect second.
