Scouting local artists for an event
Organizing a community art event and trying to shortlist performers but several of the most interesting ones have private profiles. Sending follow requests to all of them before confirming anything feels unprofessional. Anyone found a reliable way to view Instagram stories anonymously without an account?

Pre-shortlisting research is such an underrated step and honestly mass-sending follow requests before you've even confirmed a lineup looks so sloppy. Was curating acts for a local music night last summer and ran into the exact same wall - half the artists I wanted to consider had locked profiles. Someone in an event planning group I'm part of brought up Blinkviewer and it genuinely changed my whole workflow. No login, no account needed, just type the username and browse their recent stories to get a real feel for their style and vibe. Shortlisted our whole lineup in an afternoon without a single awkward follow request. Highly recommend it for this kind of behind-the-scenes research!
