I feel like* before the mother/slave method they were okay with the ratio of spam and active users that were brought back because a bot followed them. But because of the mother/slave people actually started to leave the platform because all that nonsense spam people were doing it harmed the balance they were okay with
Instead of 1 account doing automation/spam its now 100’s of accounts per one account with the m/s method
I feel like when the balance gets back in check ig will start playing nicer, or maybe its just how its going to be from now on and we have to adapt
A lot of people are saying m/s isnt really worth it or are looking to charge more… what are your thoughts
Ive only really heard about it in the past 1-2 years, im sure its been around for a while but like you said not at the scale it has been recently with 100’s of accounts funneling to one
I don’t think they’re targeting us especially
I think they try to fish a big shark but for this they have to fish us
Also if zuckerberg would make his ads financially rentable there would be no issue to automation. But he is f greedy. I hate him for this. I love his personality. But f his decision. Dude is scamming the whole planet trying to sell ads that has no reach, cutting our reach. He is scamming us. He is the worst scammer of social media marketing
Yeah it’s been around forever, just not overly abused like today.
As IG started getting more and more restrictive last year with individual account actions, people really started expanding into throwaway/spammy accounts, and those actions with the m/s method to compensate, which maybe in turn caused this crack down… but really it’s just been a long time coming, if not now then tomorrow. There’s always another restriction around the corner. As one thing gets abused, another is discovered until they do their best to stop it. Just nature of the entire system.
Though it does suck to lose follow/unfollow as a “thing” because in reality it’s not that harmful, doesn’t need automation, and many could argue that m/s is as it’s actual spam. But to each his own I guess.
I’m somehow “happy” that big abusive spammers are not able to work anymore with some abusive methods.
I mean, at the end we try to give some exposure to customers, or ourselves and stuff, and personally, from my pov, big services with m/s methods doing like 500/1000 accounts for a customer or a profile, is quite killing and being nocive for regular community.
I mean, even some friends that are not in the game AT ALL, start noticing some spam messages and tons of robots.
I notice a lot of spam myself even on my accounts getting tons of dms from ms accounts but I dont mind it doesnt really hurt my experience on the platform but I can see how it damages other peoples views of it
We will probably never know for sure but I’m with you. Since day one I said the M/S method is the worse of the worse. Literally zero value added (spare me the “you have to create high quality slave accounts” crap).
My friend no need to be rude with another member of the community, he was pretty clear, he wrote “I feel like” twice. I don’t understand what you really want… just relax.
