So this issue I have noticed basically for a long time on Jarvee. The issue is Jarvee wont “obey” or follow the rules you set in the follow between x & x users per operation. Even with the new setting “scrape all users before following” checked. It will just follow a random amount of users (short of what you set) stop, start the following/scraping process again and follow more and keep doing that until it reaches your users per operation. This is not good because it basically ignores the settings you have set and can lead to blocks.
Heres a screenshot of how it looks on Jarvee. As you can see this lead to a block at the end because it keeps finishing and starting the follow process again to get to the operation limits that were set. Instead of following all the users required in one go. It only follows 1 user at a time before getting a bigger chunk at the end before the block.
The settings for the screenshot above were:
Follow between 10-20 users per operation
Contextual actions 10-20 users with delay of 0-8 seconds between each action
Do actions only from context 100%
Scrape all users before following checked
A few things I noticed about this issue:
- It happens on both API & EB but maybe seems more frequently on EB
- Lower “follow users per operation” values have a better chance of the tool working correctly than a larger amount. For example follow 3-5 users per operation will work way better than follow 15-30 users per operation. It will hit the entered settings better.
- I did a test where I set it to follow 100 users per operation and it never hit this it follows 30-60 users than finishes and starts scraping again. This is just an amplified example on a larger scale of it not working.
- This isnt just a small or only a few accounts issue. This happens to my accounts a good amount of the time. Actually this issue happens more frequently then the settings actually working.
Has anyone else noticed this issue happening? Its bad because it leads to more blocks since it basically makes your settings & delays useless and will do its own settings & delays depending on how it runs & when.
