Followback Rate [Private] vs [Non-private]

[cybertrash]

Thoughts? I have heard mixed answers from fellow bot users.

 

[cybertrash]

anyone?

I don't know what you meant by this thread but just check what method meme pages are using, they go private & buy a lot of shootouts from other pages and then get thousands of followers by this method..

Private is working right now to grow faster. Shoutouts combined with private is so so good!

what i mean is when using your instagram follow bot, do you see a better followback rate when following private accounts or non-private accounts?

 

[Jessica Folley]

follow back should have about the same rate whether the account is private or not, since you are talking about that other person's account status, and not yours.

 

[AuthorityRush]

You can typically tell on a per account basis based on their followers/followed ratio, several services target those accounts based on that ratio metric.

I set it to 10-20% private on my bot.

hm.. but private accounts are more likely to be real people than public accounts

Yes true. But they switch to the private mode cuz may be tired of botters and random users who follow them and like their pics and send other "spam". Exactly that's why when the account follow them - they may click the report button much more often other rather than the owners of public accounts

Oh so true. But I don’t understand why following while my own account is in private mode would get higher followback rate?

There are some cases, I follow non-private account - then they transferred the account to private; prove they don't want to be bothered. I never follow private account, because it takes a while for them to notice
