Welcome to MP Social!
If I were you I would give automation a try again, but here’s what I would suggest:
- Get a residential proxy in your location (it can even be your own wifi). If you really want to be safe get a 4G proxy, but it’s almost overkill
- Add a scraper account to limit API actions on your account
- Search for topics on MP Social regarding warming up for follow/unfollow, liking, etc
- Set Jarvee to automate ONLY when you aren’t using Instagram (just don’t do it when you’re sleeping because then Instagram will see you’re using Instagram 24/7)
Or, I would suggest reading into manual growth. Here’s a great article by @Hadi [METHOD] Growing accounts with a cheap proxy. (NO BLOCK) - JARVEE
When you first started, it’s more than likely that you didn’t warmup your account enough or were automating the same time you were using Instagram on your phone. Other things could have played a role as well.
