The error message is saying that the element you are trying to locate with the XPATH "//*[@id='mount_0_0_vv']/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/section/main/div/ul/li[2]/a" cannot be found. This could be because the XPATH is not correct, or because Instagram has changed their page structure and your XPATH needs to be updated. To fix this, try using a different selector method (e.g. CSS selector) or try using a tool like the "Inspect Element" feature in Google Chrome to get the updated XPATH.

Man, I get it. As for me, I want more followers and likes on Instagram. IG feels like such a grind now. You put in all this effort, and the algorithm just buries your stuff like it doesn’t even matter. I’ve heard people ask things like "How to buy Instagram likes for cheap?" and this site help you get that initial boost, but do you think it’s worth it? I mean, sure, more likes might catch some attention, but does it really lead to engagement that sticks?
