I think what they're doing is hacking into famous peoples accounts... Somehow? Maybe trying to find easy security questions that are public knowledge, then hacking in and spamming comments through a bot.

I'm pretty sure that this clarifies that if you are verified on instagram, your account has a WAY higher trust score, and you can pretty much get away with a lot of things. Or this method can be exploitable. Basically buy a verified account, tag spam CPA offer, make enough money to buy more Verified accounts. Rinse. repeat. profit.

What do you guys think?

They're not getting hacked. They're most likely doing it one time because they're getting paid by the person running the ad promo. Verified accounts can get away with it but will probably soon change. If they only do it one time then most likely won't impact their account in negative way even if post gets removed by IG.

If they do it again and again then yes disabled.

They must be making a KILLING. Of course Verified accounts have higher limits. If any at all.

Can’t go on forever, IG will eventually stop this once it gets really abused.

Oh yeah, this will get abused fairly quickly, but if any of yall are looking to make a quick buck, you can literally pay these verified accounts, comment spam as them..? And reap in the proffits. Instagram will definitley patch this soon so yeah. I dont have the time to do this but would be really cool to see if anyone makes some serious cash out of this method before it gets patched

I vote for hacked. Instagram could ban him permanently. How much could a survey company really pay him to risk losing his account?

Very true, OR they can pay him AND he can claim he was hacked so he can get his account back, win win for the spammer and account holder
