Instagram Follow Block - Mega Thread - Level 1 [SERIOUS]

What proxy are u using? And what type of accounts are the reblock ones?
Do they have low trust scores?

I’m sorry if this is out of place but it’s related and I’ve seen people discussing similar… I can’t decide which way to go moving forward after the block and am interested in your thoughts;

Option A:
Only Follow/UF (less than 200 a day for now) with a lot of randomised numbers each run etc.

Notes; I stopped liking in February and have had good results just following because I limit the number of server calls hourly/daily and this makes sure I follow the max people allowed daily (obviously the max was a lot higher before)

Option B:
Mix it up a lot to try and appear like human interaction. Follow/UF, Like posts, Like comments with lots of randomised numbers and runs.

Notes; This takes up more of the max server calls hourly/daily and I doubt helps with actual growth.
I’m pretty sure from what I’ve read from you guys that even doing this IG still knows it’s automated by it’s various other methods which makes me think… what’s the point? Just stick with Follow/UF?

I’ve already set up Option B in my code, just haven’t started it up again yet… thoughts?

is that okay if we start Follow 200/day + Unfollow 200/day + likes 200/day?

I always use max tools possible, my standard are follow, unfollow(5 days after), like comments, story views, story comments, post comments, full browser viewer and welcome messages, ALWAYS.

After the block I turn on all activities and FOLLOW TURNED OFF at least 24h but after last days I’ll leave the follow turned off at least 72h but everything else working.

For me is working just fine and I got only 30% of accounts blocked on 4th june block wave right now 20%.

block line and release line are not the same !
if you get blocked in 6000, and blocked lifted in 5500 than you should be under a new line (not 6000)

Didn’t quite get you.
I am talking about that there may be no 6000/30 limit from now on, just Inst blocked accounts that had many follows for the last 2/6 weeks.
Me personally waiting for accounts to get ublocked, maybe some of them are, I do not touch them for now, so at least full 168 hours has past since block. Thats why I am asking

Check your monthly limits

We will see if the new limit is really 6000. I totally get your point @Zinade but it‘s too early now.

That is exactly what I was talking about, if you get unblocked with 5600 last 30 days and follow only 401 you will get blocked again and is not only 24h like before as it’s happening with me and many others.

That’s right indeed.

400 is really much for account that got unblocked.
From my experience with likes, account can do very very little actions and slowly slowly growing up. Interesting thing is that with likes the block also got lifted for longer period if Inst blocked you again.
So I guess it is like @kripke said - it is too early for such stats to come out, we need to wait.
I also lied a bit about that i do not touching banned accounts)) They are doing likes from yesterday))

It’s called facts my friend, it’s happening and I can confirm, from all the accounts that got lifted here, all the ones that pass over 6000/30 again got blocked and those that didn’t, are working ok. That’s something to be aware

Ok, so today I have 13 accounts and are walking so far without blocking.
The rest, i.e. 70 accounts, is further blocked from 13 days.
I am also waiting for a social proxy from socialgrowth but I am slowly replying, they have a lot of applications or I have sent too many messages to them: D
We’ll see if accounts get blocked on old proxies.
I only do f / u
Does anyone know why they respond so slowly?

We will see, my friend

for weeks/month i couldnt like, allways gave me blocks. No after the update that semms to be working again. I am still testing but so far like after follow works much better than before the update, or at all again.

I will keep you all updated.

@Ghosa If it’s only likes, you should try mobile proxies.

I’ve red the ebook about automation and the conclusion from this ebook is what happening here.They know we can game the system so it’s pointless for them to try.So they put blocks on different accounts at different limits to make it harder for us to establish a pattern.

Most likely they watch these forums as they said in this ebook.They tested different services for buying followers /likes with honeypot accounts and also watch collusion networks a.k.a engagement groups :slight_smile:

From what i read in the ebook they know everything we do.

Finally, we have shown through controlled experiments that blocking such services, while effective in the short term, quickly drives adaptation and can make it difficult to amortize the cost of developing accurate abuse classification. Con-sequently, from the standpoint of protecting non-abusive users from artificial content, a more effective long-term strategy can be built on deferred interventions (e.g., removing synthetic actions after at a future point). Such approaches greatly increase the “debug time”for services seeking to reverse engineer how they are being detected and are less likely to drive the customer complaints that incentive services to pursue such adaptations.

Just had a new client who has made 8-10 accounts herself (brand new) trying to follow 500 per day and is growing them 200-300 per day so far.

I begun growing one brand new account for her with low warm up settings due to the block issues. +30 followers so far in 3 days. And she told me she needs better results because an account she made 6 days ago has 500 followers and one she made 2 days ago has 300 from her manually following.m

Good luck to her, I won’t be liable when she has her new accounts with no trust score banned.

People are so uninformed it is hilarious.

Indeed, I’ve shared it here too, I told @Zinade and many others, people won’t believe or they’re just blind.

all the new accounts in trials are not suffering at all. I have dozens on trials and they will not suffer till get on 6000/30.

Edit: new accounts I mean new customers starting the trials test for the first time, not brand new accounts. With brand new accounts things are very different

I have begun approximately 80 new accounts this week. About 3-5 banned on very low settings. This lady is spamming 300-500 followers per day on brand new accounts with 0 trust score. This will equal a ban very quickly. This isn’t the old Instagram of 1 month ago.
