His post sparked mixed reactions, with some getting inspired and asking for tips. Meanwhile, some called it "difficult to believe". One user wrote in the comment section, "5.2k posts and 5.2k followers. That's very rare. If all this is achieved in 3 months then it translates to 57 posts per day and 3.6 posts per waking hr assuming you sleep 8hrs/day. Really Impressive but difficult to believe if you're doing anything else (studies/job) other than X."

Meanwhile, one user praised his work, asking, "How did you even scale like this? Commendable."

"Bro could you help on how to start and what you've currently did on x to achieve this," a third user asked.
