New account, zero reach. What gives?

Started a fresh Instagram account two weeks ago. Posting daily reels. Good hooks. Trending sounds. Decent edits. Zero traction. Barely 100 views per post. Friend said new accounts get suppressed until they prove themselves. Mentioned services like SocialBoost or InstaRush. I tried Viral Rabbi on a couple posts just to test. Views finally started moving. One hit 8k.
Still early. Not sure if it is sustainable. Just experimenting. Focused on improving content daily.
