Instagram – I think I’m done

[abtabt]

Take time to unfollow those ghost followers

Yes, you are right. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do that.

 

[lennyserrano]

that is bs for them, why does the people who also work there doesn't have the limits like us like the official account of instagram and all the people out there didn't set the rules to them so they think, oh we're special, that is not fair lmao and is also bs

I just buy accounts with proxies know.

that it don't make accounts just add them to the bot

do you buy instagram accounts and link them on proxies and deliver yourself engagement ?

Look for some good app for that, I recommend after using the app for that purpose u can then disable the app

I think it is time to move on from IG unless one is planning to pay for ads. For paid ads, I am sure the traffic are high quality but you need the right offer to be profitable as the ad cost can be rather expensive.

I welcome any tip to the community that reduces my competition !

If you keep chasing the "methods" , you will hop from one thing to another for the rest of your life . If you have been "into" Instagram and this change dries your traffic out , you are in the wrong business .

I think there was a website for buying shitty method PDF guides . I cannot remember the domain name sadly . Go there if you do not want to adapt to an always changing market . These "methods" work for a few weeks or months and then dry out .

Hell , even with porn reuploading you can still make a nice amount of steady cash .

Always ask yourself , are you driving a couple thousand uniques of free traffic or are you building a business ?

And because I do not want to be a complete asshole , take this:

Please don't give up. Please.

While there's definitely still money to be made, I'm afraid Instagram as a user experience has changed for the worse. When I log in to my personal account (never botted, never used for anything beside personal stuff) I can't even see my wife's posts. I see my friends posts from 5 days ago and all I see are businesses, ads and influencer accounts. I have to manually look up all my favorite people. It's not rewarding as it used to be.

I’m seriously just about done with Instagram. My engagement has taken another hit this week and I don’t know why. I haven’t posted much in September and now I’m back and I’m down another 50% on my already low engagement.

Here’s the results of a resent post - 37k followers. 3355 reach. 139 engagement. Stories not much better.

I used to get three to four time that engagement just in the first hour.

My thoughts on Instagram and its general direction is that it rewards quantity over quality. The result is easy to see. Take a look at what rises to the top. There’s no quality there. Memes, tits, junk. Nothing I do changes the junk I see on the explorer page. I’ve tried everything and all I see is a bunch of crap that’s about 70% irrelevant to me.

I understand the algorithm is designed to reduce the number of posts people see, but IMO it’s not working. The writing is on the wall. If it’s not fun and no one no matter how big or small can get results then they’ll stop using it.



Question:

So, I need advice on how to revive/survive or I’m out.

I’m not sure if I have a lot of ghost followers or Instagram is just not letting me get to my followers, should I remove ghosts? What’s the best way to do that? Am I just asking for more trouble from insta?

I think Instagram is having a "shadow ban" on overly active accounts.

What happens is that only your following will be able to see your posts, no outsiders, to verify this you should use an account that is not on the same IP address and now currently following you. Its really just an agorithm thats flagged you for suspicious activity.
One way to remedy this is go cold turkey for 72 hours -- no posting, no liking, no commenting, no stories. If you have a "business page" go back to personal. Slowly after a 3 day break start posting again but slower. Many influencers that I know have had this happen to them, its all about learning to keep your settings right if you have any bots helping you.

Hope that helps.

Have you botted on other accounts? I wonder if it figures out they are connected.
There's definitely more weird stuff. I've found so many things that I might make a separate post about it.

I have tired this in the past but it didn't help. Maybe it's worth another shot.

Think about the time and effort you've invested. You want that to be for nothing?

 

[Gr00t007]

I did a post, it's been 9 hours, 5611 reach and 2135 engagement.

 

[Jimmy_Jules]

I have the same problem

I am dealing with this now and someone said to disable my page for a week, have you heard of this method?

 

[W9go]

you should have just read the first page of instagram section or used the search bar, i have a long detailed thread about recovering engagement- https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/method-recover-your-engagement-on-instagram.959849/

as far i know you recommend there doing nothing with a bot ... clearly you have a good engagement if you spent hours being social with your followers, but the majority here has on time for that or is not interesting to do that ....
