I've been warning about IG and FB for a long time.
Once they decided to come after commercial intent, so they can sell ads, they were obviously going to do the same thing Google did which was demonize marketers.
They want retarded users that click on ads and post cute pictures, they don't want you making $ there.
So this post is just a fraction of what will happen long term, all marketing or commercial intent on IG or FB will be pay for play or you're out. Bots are doomed.

What if you stop botting? Will they still ban you? Nobody probably knows but that's interesting question.
Also it's shame for people who don't spam ie. legit business owners who automate to just save some time.
But if that's true and botting is dying with new anti spam shit coming and banning accounts, then it's time to think about next move and that move gonna be huge. I'm seriously thinking about selling rest of my accounts and save like 3 or 5 for phone and stop botting and crazy actions. Then comes the question is that enough to save accounts, to just stop following/unfollowing. Moving back to manual would crush my dream of 1m followers or it will take years..

This has been obvious on FB for years now but there is and will always be people banking off it. There will always be a way.

Could be that, or it might actually be true. After all no one wants their platform to be bombarded with bots, and if you use IG you'll know that how many bot accounts are operating right now. Follow a huge account and you'll start getting follow requests. Even if you don't follow any account, you still get some random requests. So, imagine how many people are using bots and IG will take action. It's more like a cat and mouse game. They release updates, we find loopholes just like big G keeps on releasing new updates and people still find ways to rank their websites. If you cannot adapt, you'll soon die. Law of nature, law of everything.

This is from Github so this "information" literally means nothing. @freakingout, the OP, is one of the members of the github team and has been spamming github messages for the past few days.
They know as much as we do.

i dont think so, all insta needed to do was program a simple "if user follows/likes/comments lots of times, enable strong monitoring of their actions.. if tgat user does lots of those spam actions, it is a spammer for sure". they dont even need AI. i dont understand the AI side of it but that helps too. everything is growing into AI these days, just search youtube
@Daddykins you know nothing and just talk bs in your dreams, everyone already said you are wrong, for example @xWGx who talked to many big bot devs and showed how full of bs you are
i am gonna take a break from botting to see what happens next to people who continue botting. times are changing and we must adapt........ i pray a solution will come!

I actually mentioned a few months ago that IG is using AI to detect bots and spammers. But was wash aside as nonsense by fellow member here. AI is learning faster and faster everyday as it is being fed with more data. It is impossible to beat AI since any update to exploit is done almost in real time. I think going forward even manual following/unfollowing will not work since the AI is picking up signs of similarity to spammers. So a real user will not be following more than 100 a day based upon binomial distribution (statistics). So basically IG is solving problem at its root cause since marketers will not find it profitable to follow less than 100 accounts per day per account. Bearing in mind the cost of managing the accounts goes higher as you manage more IG accounts.
I have to agree with OP that it is the end of the game for IG marketers if AI is involved. Even if an exploit can be found, it get closed after a day or two making it impossible to rake in enough profits to justify the cost. No wonder I am seeing so many bot seller BST on BHW nowadays.

If they want "spamming" to stop why not just set daily action limit for every account. Let's say 30 follows and unfollows, couple hundred likes, and some comments. Why they let users do thousands of actions in a first place. It's like they let us play and waste our time then see who played too hard and ban them. Fucking dicks.

there is a big diference between bad and good bots, bots can have ai too and they have been getting ai implementations since a lot of time ago.
botting its not about being spammy with a crap link and send dm, botting is more than that , if a person can do something then a bot can do it too.
bots are just time saving programs to replace humans.
does a normal person follows 750 persons a day? no, then a good bot shouldnt do it

omg really? fuck
i came here because i was desperate with 200 accounts trapped in checkpoint loop and needed help. and I've read everything i can find from every forum and github… i look for real info and trust real developers who hack the api a lot more than some random retard "daddykins" here who know nothing.....
what should I do? you seem to understand this and can maybe explain what is the best idea.... if this is really antispam (it looks like it, it blocked my server ips but not my home ips)........ i am tired of this.... should I try to quickly dump (sell) my accounts now before their value drops and just forget about this before bot accounts lose all value? or should I wait and hope for a fix and try to use them for something else? what is your best idea on this?
