Is this the end?

I just hope that these spammers stop spamming.. I mean really. I hate it as an user. I know many people's life depend on these businesses but there must be a better way to earn money than that.. Playing with search engine ranking is something, but Nottingham is just freaking too much..

What is spam ? it is just ads. The different is you pay platform owner for promote something or using some programm tools.

Well, is that wrong? How is that wrong? What if you owned ig?

AI antispam is being tested everywhere, not only in the social networks and search engines. They are doing kind of same thing in emails too. Had a talk with the owner of a moderately big email marketing platform in UK and he informed me about similar stuffs too.

Imo, it all depends on what you consider spam. Because now a days it has multiple meanings, where as back in the day it just reffered to unsolicited mail or messages. You're saying you hope people stop spamming, we'll what is it that you do.. because some people might consider what you do spamming as well unless you're just paying for ads. People dislike ads just as much as "spam" unless it turns out to be something their interested in. Like when you watch a YouTube video.. you think people like those annoying ads that pop up? No, they hate them just as much as the spam they recieve.

LOL SEO is one big spam.

If theres a reason internet one day will become overfilled with rubbish to the point we wont be able to use it it will be because of Google !

LOL I am not actively associated with IM anymore. My bread and butter now-a-days is solely programming. So, I have the courage to call spam, SPAM (be it any kind of spam, and oh yeah.. I use ublock like crazy).
I do understand what you are saying though. I have been through this torturous career for a long time..

How is the situation going now?

Nothing changed . Business as usual . If you believe the words of a butt hurt whitehat programmer , I can't help you .

Guess why the "issue report" - that OP made a screenshot of - is closed ? The whitehat programmer realized that he wrote a lot of nonsense .

Why Would Instagram Monitor Botted Accounts And Only Delete Botted Accounts With A CPA Link ?

Is that a fact? Only accounts with CPA link in bio have had verification loops?
Is it possible to make a list of the worst offenses (from IG's point of view)?
1. Having a CPA link in bio
2. Botting (is auto F/UF worse than auto liking?)
3. Having more accounts than the 3 or so tolerated
4. Buying likes or followers
5. Doing engagement rounds, like exchanges
6. Using certain hashtags
7. Using certain words like "free" in captions, bio, etc
8. Reposting content that isn't yours on a regular basis
9. Selling shoutouts
10. Buying shoutouts

What else is there?
Does IG consider some these offenses worse than others?

Someone noticed that "Bfirstapprel" that guy pooped all over instagram and all my accounts through his endless bot accounts,i daily block his accounts because of spammy comments.
That shitty owner should be banned first.

That shitty guy spammed me too I blocked and reported him he is all-over insta

This is not correct

Lol, yeah it can be a bit torturing.. there are too many new competitors in the game now compared to back in the day.. but at the same, not so bad because alot of them give up within a week or 2 anyway after not making it.. which makes it a bit of fun, because in essence they help provide useful data for me and others that are doing this full time. Pretty cool that you made a career out of programming. I'll always love programming as well.. it's a learning curve and also makes marketing more of a challenge because it forces you to constantly be on your toes with all the updates.

Nope Many Botted Accounts Had Verification Loops Not Just CPA Ones. However This Does Not Relate To The Post Of Mine Which You Quoted

So People Still Haven't Stopped Discussing About This Thread xD

He comments on all my posts!

 

[Toxic Candy]

This is so funny... Everyone is still freaking out. Only the people who actually take time to manage 100's of accounts while not looking like bots will survive no matter what. People usually get banned every 6-12 months.

He comments on all my posts!

He/she sounds like they're doing something right.. if theyre big enough to have multiple people on here complaining about him, just imagine how many accountsubs he has doing the same thing... maybe that should motivate you, not upset you.

His spam accounts are all over the fitness niche for a year now. The bizz model is a pyramid from what i have found and what i can see but if the dude is makin money. Good for him. Wont reject an oportunity like that either

Well I'm not seeing any drastic changes on Instagram, my accounts are always made very safely, don't have much problems. Just try not to look like a total bot and you won't have to be afraid about shadowban or ban itself. Don't know what's all the crying about.

2 accounts of mine suffered alot...like reach and engagement dropped hard! One of them recovered as i stopped botting and started engaging with my followers but the other one is heavily silenced like...only 0.1% of the followers see the posts or interact with them...i dont know what to do..should i not touch it for a while? How long? And can i still use MP at this point or insta will get me again?

Well it really depends what have you done on the account. The break with posting isn't too good as your followers will forget about your account. The obvious action is to stop liking. You don't really need to like anything to get good engagement. Stick to comments and follow but make it like 70% of what you did and slowly grind it to normal.
But as I said, I don't know what this account went through.

Imma try do that. I thought that i should stop posting because it wasnt gettin any better...but maybe you are right i gotta stop likin just follow and some comments. I was f/u and likes on each follow. No comments. And right about hittin 20k it was late january and all of ansudden massive silencing like the likes and engagement dropped. Then i stopped f/u continued liking manual and did some followers bloking ...cleaning all those innavtive followers but nothing seems to help alot at this point...likes are like 1/5 of the standart...
