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

i think it is a mix of proxy/account issues

i know a ton of people in my niche of ig (bunch of idiots who bought into an ig growth course)

in this course the dude teaches them to manually follow and use the app unfollow to unfollow people

almost all of them i have talked to have been action blocked by manually doing this actions

but i feel like it may be from doing too many actions in one sitting instead of doing x actions every hour since they are doing it manually

i would increase your ‘night mode’
as well as making sure all your accounts are on the same exact schedule

that and if you arent already add in an off day and breaks in the middle of the day dont do actions for 18 hours straight

I have many accounts that survived this follow block that do actions 24/7. The beauty of having 5k accounts is having them do blocks of different things for testing in instances like this because generally you don’t want to create a footprint that large and get all of your accounts banned. As you scale, the footprints translate in ways you wouldn’t even imagine.

Night mode does NOT matter with this issue IMO.

Have you checked the 6000 follows/last 30 days test that jssnoopy did? I think you have a very valuable perspective having 5k accounts. What do you think it is causing the follow blocks from your perspective?

A little update for everyone. I crunched the numbers and right now 56% of my accounts have follow-block issues.

Out of that 56%, 96% of those accounts are over 6000 follows in the last 30 days. I think there is more to the equation than just the 6000/30 limitation but I would have to say that seems pretty consistent.

This is with a sample size of a few hundred accounts so large enough to see patterns of behavior. Seems consistent so far with the data I’ve been collecting but I know it’s probably not the only contributing factor to this recent wave of follow-blocks.

I also think the follow / unfollow tools running at the same time is jacking things up which is mentioned a few posts up. I’ve been running those tools together and I’m going to change my settings tonight to try and double down on my efforts to bullet proof my system while I let these accounts rest.

Good times!

Always ask your clients to stay away of following/liking by themselves during the management period.

I also have accounts that passed the 6K follower mark today that were fine yesterday and blocked today…

Never needed to do this with previous limits. I keep my clients well below limits because of how good my targeting is. I’m not going to provide 5k followers for $100/mo bc my targeting is too good. My unblocked accounts right now are the clients I throttle.

Yes, definitely recommend staying away from folllowing and unfollowing at the same time. I got several PV and bans because of that. Everything got better as soon as I did one and then the other :wink:

Oddly enough, I had 0 issues doing 1k follows and 1k unfollows at the same time daily for 5 years now.

Never any issues doing up to 700-800 Daily Follow/unfollow.

Wow! I see you like to live dangerously :wink:

Seriously though, if it’s working for you then don’t change it

I stoped it when the wave came, I just start it again, and it’s blocked now on first action :slight_smile:

This is nonsense. No one, and I repeat, NO ONE knows for sure the limits. Please stop spreading misinformation.

Even if its not a “limit” i guess reducing the number for actions for awhile is a good thing anyway.

I totally agree but one thing is to say: lower the actions and another is giving random rules…

Either this is a limit or it is not. We’ll see… In any case it’s quite obvious that following 1K people per day is not going to work anymore.

Ok Im really getting pissed of this situation…

90% of my accounts are blocked. No matter which setting they had. I turned everything off… One client today told me that after he click on “tell us” he upgraded app and now he is not blocked. But it is miracle.

I dont know what to say to my clients. They will be scared of getting deleted from instagram. Some of them are new, some of them are more than one year in my program. I am out of my mainly income.

We need to wait what will happen, but I am not patient. Lets all pray together that we can continue and everything will be okay :frowning:
