Is there a way to do 1:1 follow/unfollow with MP? This is a feature of Instagress that really helps make accounts look like spammy. It prevents your following account from going up and down constantly.
After following 1 user, it will unfollow 1 user, follow 1, unfollow 1 and so on.
Thanks
There’s really no point in following and unfollowing. You’re gonna miss out on passive leads.
Passive leads - People you followed long ago that just checked your notification and visit your LP and convert. A lot of my revenue also comes from passive leads. It’s best to unfollow only if you hit 6000 or more in Following. I know you want to keep the Follow/Following ratio as low as possible but you can’t help it. 
I unfollow the first 9 hours, then 30 min break, then follow 9 hours. Same numbers so my stats dont swing to much. No problem at all with 70 + accounts. But i don’t spam or do any cpa stuff.
GL!

I doubt anyone looks at that, to have a constant 1:1 , if that were true a lot of people doing the follow-unfollow method would be sad about their massive loss of accounts… given that his didn’t happen you should be quite safe doing it like everyone else.
There may not be a point to following and unfollowing for what you are doing with Instagram but there is for me.
@dma0245 Good idea maybe I will shorten the times to make it less obvious. Thanks
@Johnny - It’s about appearances. It is noticeable when a following count jumps from 5500 to 6200 a day. Especially in the photography niche. This request is based off of conversations I’ve had with other photographers that notice when someone is automating. It should be a pretty simple request to implement, no? The follow until X number and unfollow until X number implemented in MP is essentially the same thing. Except it doesn’t work.
I have a lot photo accounts and getting good results. Appearances is important if you have some followers. But still important when you want to grow your account to 30-40k followers? What will get more profit you think? Thinking about some numbers and the appearance or grow hard and spent time on that?

I understand what you are saying. However, it does not apply to my scenario. I’m not sitting at the computer anonymously growing multiple IG accounts. The use case is a photographer building a personal brand. When I’m out and about in the photog community people always call out who is automating. An easy way to mask that is to keep a relatively stable followings count. Sure someone could always use analytics to see the steady growth but that’s pretty extreme.
The 1:1 ratio is the best feature of Instagress because neither MP or FL have it.
I see, I don’t think anyone actually asked for this till now, so I had no idea why someone would value it that much. Please post a feature request topic about this here.
Edit: In regards to the suggestion, I like it and think it would be helpful for those who want to appeal to certain discerning followers. It’s also a nice way of looking less spammy. Would it be safe though? Everywhere I read people are concerned about following + unfollowing at the same time. Instagress does it safely, so I guess it works if you don’t go overboard with the numbers?
And now to my rant:
It also goes without saying that there are lots of people in the photo community who are clearly bad photographers with incredibly huge followings… how did they get there? Probably by using big accounts and photographing the people who represent them (attractive women mostly) to push their names and increase following. It may not be the same as automation but it’s probably more blatant.
If you’re talented but aren’t getting follows/likes/recognition because of how oversaturated your niche is, and how fiercely greedy and competitive the big players in that area are, you sort of have to resort to it. Yeah, appearances matter, but at what cost? Gaining no following because somebody pointed out that you’re doing it?
Fuck those people then, they’re probably talent-less hacks exploiting others to gain for themselves, they just won’t admit to “their method,” because somehow using the community is better than being an individual with a desire to do the same things alone.
