hello,

just a random question…  
if one real device can perfom like 800~1000 follow, 800~1000 unfollow, 2400~4000likes, 60~100comments + scrapping accounts approximately 10000(can be way more depening on how many accounts saved) + account creation 10, set medias for post, targets automatically for f/u from scrapping a day. and can hold 100 accounts in one device(just saving not running 100accounts at the same time… it’s a single thread)

is this method worth it for the its price? (sim cards, device, server usage…)

i live somewhere in southern asian country and sim cards and used phones are pretty cheap here… but i’m not really aware of other countries…

It’s worth running only if the value from accounts that stay usable exceeds the full operating and replacement costs. Cheap phones and SIMs help, but does the monthly revenue or other measurable value per retained account clear the cost of devices, SIMs, server use, and replacements? The follow and scraping counts alone can’t answer that.
