Gate

Follow Gate

A Follow Gate holds the reward back until the person follows you. They comment, they get a DM asking them to follow, and once they do, the resource unlocks automatically.

How it works

Gates work because the exchange is honest and immediate. The person wanted the thing you were offering; the follow is the price, and it is small. ReplyZen states it plainly in the DM rather than hiding it behind a link.

On the Free plan you can complete up to 50 Follow Gates in a month. On Creator, gates are unlimited within your monthly automation runs.
