[lvl1] Megathread: "Reducing Inauthentic Activity on Instagram" (2018/11/19)

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of ads their seeing in their feed?

I wonder if this is any coincidence with the reduction of Inauthentic Activity?

It actually makes me want to use a bot more, as I’m getting sick of scrolling past so many ads, to find the content of the people I follow; to actually like.

It really feels like the time is right for a disrupter to enter the space and take on Instagram using a model that made them so successful to begin with.

What’s the solution?

How do I set up my account?

Out of 24 accounts I manage, 4 of them have been banned in a few days recently. Legit accounts for some brands of ours, some linked to business FB pages. I mean, not stupid reposting accounts or something.

And many others are receiving lots of phone verifications, but I thought it was because I had to change proxies.
For now I’ve stopped everything, not sure what to do next.

seeing a lot of large brand accounts like instagram.com/iamgia taken down.

mine accounts still doing ok, I’m doing maximum 600 interactions a day

if you have a rooted phone in theory you can change your device id and that should fix the problem if its rooted to that

thanks but did not want to root my iphone. TweakBox solved the problem for me.

What is the solution? I am completely blocked. As soon as I even turn it on start getting the red bar error message. Cannot access wait for a moment. Is there a new strategy on how to avoid the computer algorithms

I guess you should let it rest, change your proxies and use a domestic IP, and try to randomize it as much as possible. I would even say change your settings daily or weekly. I am not specialist thought, but there are many threads here with similar problems.

Level Oners…still no need to worry, right? lol

Im currently running 6 accounts on my home IP with my personal computer.

I have my settings on 450 follow, 450 unfollow, and 200 likes.

I’ve had no problems since the announcement.

Its proxy… since we changed to mobile nothing anymore! if its data center forget about likes

Alright, I have read most of the posts on this topic and guys you don’t need to be so worried, at least not at the moment. The inauthentic activity Instagram wants to reduce is from the apps that require their authorization, not from our bot usage. But, of course I’m always telling people who keep doing CPA by spam accounts to try to stop it, because Instagram easily knows around +90% of these type of accounts and will remove them all from their platform at some point in the future. What we should focus is on growing our own accounts or your client’s accounts and try to maintain or even reduce the number of actions per day.
