I’m working on a possible robotic solution to physically “like” posts on a phone with a stylus.
Has anyone who is doing heavy manual likes or follow/unfollow gotten long-term action blocks on a phone? So far, I’ve only encountered hourly limits (seems to be about 175 an hour). However, I’m only doing it a few times a day, so I’m wondering if longer action blocks occur if doing too many manual actions in a day. I would hate to put all this effort into the robotic solution, only to find out that it leads to long-term blocks that make it less useful.
(By the way, I’ll share details about the robotics if it works out.)
I mostly only do likes for clients for years. Automated. No long term blocks (e.g. 6000/30 F/UF) or bans. The good old days I’d do 1,800 likes per day, but past year or so around 600-1000 likes per day and past few months 400-500 likes (when the stars align).
I am very interested if this works. Are you randomly liking content or from a scraped list?
The phone will have to manually be set to a hashtag or location and then it’ll scroll down the recent images feed and “like” the most recent images. It’ll pause at random intervals to avoid exceeding the hourly limits. This is fully mechanical (an actual stylus clicking the phone screen), so it’s much more limited than software but I’m hoping it can achieve much higher daily actions than software.
1-20 August: more than 40 likes per hour (gap between action: around 30 sec) - receive 5 blocks randomly
28 August: low activity account without warm up: more than 100 likes per hour no more than 200 likes per day - no blocks
