It was an account with a few thousand followers. Nobody I know (in Brooklyn) follows the account.

I've seen more coverage of a brief 90-minute ban than I have of the protests themselves.

Trump and the Republicans are as unpopular as ever, but I don't think the No Kings protests are moving the needle right now.

> Organizers of the protests estimated that the protests drew nearly 7 million attendees,[17][18] while a partnership between data journalist G. Elliott Morris and the Xylom, an independent Atlanta-based science newsroom, estimated 5 million to 6.5 million participants. Either estimate would make this one of the largest single-day protests in American history.[19]

		You're not comparing like with like. Today's protests seem aimed around GOTV, rather than opposing specific policies. It makes sense that they wouldn't have the same draw. The main organising IG account for the protests is https://www.instagram.com/50501movement, with almost 900k followers.
