If someone is always at the top of your Instagram story views, it may indicate that they frequently engage with your profile. Instagram's algorithm prioritizes viewers who interact the most with your content, whether through likes, comments, or story views. Additional factors include mutual interactions and messaging frequency. However, it’s not a definitive indicator of constant interest, as the algorithm is complex.
