From your great post it seems Jarvee recommend option 2 - is this just to save VPS? Why else would option 3 not be the optimal one?

hhhh…That is excatly what I am doing right now. Pary for new api or some more swipe screen which is more like human being. Do you know what kind of vps can handle with 500 accounts running with EB? God, I am so afraid to think about it!!!🤣🤣🤣 ---

I think that under “cons” by performing EB actions, should be written that the browser used is not an emulation of a PC browser. So IG will see that on your smartphone, instead of using their app, you will using the browser installed, which is kind of weird. ---

are you serious? I run 75 and my VPS is the **US 1.5 from GreenCloud**! 😂 One question, if you open the task manager, _ **what is the percentage of your CPU and memory that are occupied?** _ ---

Yea I did yesterday and the solution for me was type something in the username and in the password and try to login, and after receiving invalid credentials I erased the plus things I had added and tried to login again and it worked… ---

So based on the new updates through Jv, is API working well for some people? Do you think its possible to go back to API instead of just using EB as I feel EB is more fishy towards Instagram. Would love to know your thoughts. [Previous page](https://mpsocial.com/t/simple-explanation-pros-cons-eb-vs-api/73912.md?page=1)
