What OP is telling might actually be correct. I have 30 accounts running on 3 different projects on FL. All 30 got password reset yesterday. I also have 2 accounts which I am running manually from past 4 months and they didn't get any password reset.
My friend is botting 10 accounts ( relatively very new compared to my 30 accounts ) on another custom bot which he coded it himself and guess what?? Not a single account has a password reset.
So I think IG has not cracked down botting in general, but only those accounts which are run by FL. This is just my thought!! Would be interesting to know if people running accounts on Igerslike and other popular bots got a password reset.
well, i can only suggest the same to you what i suggested already: if you read above, even in this thread there are 3 different person, who never used followliker and were affected, one of them explicitly said that he uses MP aka massplanner, i haven't even checked elsewhere, it's just in this thread
it easily can be the settings, pushing it too hard, not shuffling tasks, doing the same over and over again at the exact same time, not leaving the account to rest, but botting 24/7, the combination of these or any other reason i can't think of now, believe me, by now instagram/facebook has advanced techniques to detect bot activity and can distinguish between a bot acc and a real user pretty safely and that crack down yesterday might be a start of a new era and you can expect pw resets more often from now
it can be that your friend is running on more relaxed settings than you or just simply his accs/botting activity is just too new for ig to recognize for what it is
the only reason that we see a lot of people complaining about FL, is simply because it's the most well-known, widely-used instagram bot for quite some time now, this is what most people use
i'm not here to defend FL, i just don't like when people jump into conclusions prematurely and spreading false info, which was already proved to be false by others in this thread
once again, it's not followliker, it's not one specific bot, it's botting, it's the usage of bots in general
idk what FL acknowledges exactly or what not, but stating that FL is paying people on the forum without any evidence is falling into the conspiracy theory territory
nobody has to believe me, you just need to read replies by others, who never used FL and you'll soon realize, that you're wrong accusing only one bot, if not, i can't help with that
