You should give credit,if not be prepared for this.
Modify your caption giving credit.
Respot to all the negative comments saying you are sorry and that you corrected your mistake.
Pray the Lord for forgiveness.
I know but I want to increase the shelf life of my brand.
I was reading about the whole issue and pretty much came across a bunch of people who had their photos stolen and reported it and blah blah and IG still did nothing so its really just how I want to present my brand at this point.
I will be uploading a new list with credits so hopefully that’ll relax the PJWs
I just want to be sure this gang of commentators cannot due some serious damage to my page by spamming the report button while drinking their late night vino.
--------------------UPDATE-----------------------
The chick that I took the picture from has an account with 26k and screenshotted what I posted and then told all her followers to go report me haha. I commented on the post that this is harassment, we will seeee…
Maybe I will have to sacrifice my account and get banned for science!
Had this issue on one account fast.
I woke up to 40 comments on a new account i figured hey great engagement!All of them were hate posts when the owner caught me red handed.
I deleted all the photos,changed account name and rested for few days.
Came back and noone even remembered anymore.
You could disable your account for few days to avoid geting reported.When you activate it change the username and delete the bad photos.
It would be best to not, She will win. All you can do is play it cool and be complimentary. I would remove any other photos of hers as well. She is probably part of the Instagram Posse and will ask them to report as well.
Yea but whats best is not always what is most fun.
I was reading about a few ways to silence her account if her reporting is effective and came across two options that basically the same and make sense.
FLOOD HER WITH FAKES LIKES
FLOOD HER WITH FAKE FOLLOWERS
Each would come from different companies and not be on a drip setting.
Karma my friend!! Give people credit, that’s the only way you can build a sustainable brand. Instead of wasting your time, money & energy to cause harm to another account, perhaps just use it to find more good content and give credit. Just saying. Your strategy sounds more like a pump & dump strategy, this is NOT how you will build a long-term brand.
