Not all action are equal

[willteasle]

So I have my bots set up to like pics only.
3 accounts
10-30 seconds between likes. take a 60 minutes break every 300 actions.

This strategy has worked for me until I started to scrape my own followers on one account. I wanted to increase engagement so I set it up to like the last 3 pics of each of my followers... and I get temp bans so quickly on this account!
I think maybe it looks too obvious to IG ... clearly its automation since its all your own followers... where liking other users from multiple scraped sources seems more realistic?

300 actions in one go is an obvious welcome for action block though I wonder how you are not affected by it.

About scraping own followers for liking their pictures its better to take small pauses while scraping or scrape all users at once and keep liking in intervals and take pauses, don't go for liking too many at a time. Also you might want to change your delay higher from 10-30 seconds.

Oh really? I thought IG's limit was 300 likes an hour? Hmm maybe I will lower it to 200.
I have gotten away with 400 actions before breaks on other accounts. I'll change my delay to 20-30 secs! Thanks for the tips!

It varies from account to account, theres no defined limit.

The reason you didn't get blocked before was because the bot couldn't find people fast enough to hit the limit. Now that you have an 'easy' source for your bot, it is hitting the limits. And once you hit it once, IG gets stricter and stricter unless you take a break to 'reset'.


HINT" your minimum delay is too low for likes. I hit up to 2k a day no bans for months now.

Oh really?? I might experiment then. Is it fine as long as I keep it under 300 likes an hour?

300/hour is alot. IMO it should be under 100. Some might disagree and say 100 is less but everyone have their own strategy. 100 is good as per me and safe too.

Henry Tandey Regrets for not shooting a man.. Do people hate him for that? Maybe.
