Help with reposting content on TikTok and Instagram

[BlackHat94]

Hello, everyone! I don't know if this is the appropriate section to create this thread. If not, I would ask the forum admins to move it to the correct allocation. Basically, for more than three years, I have been unable to find a suitable system for re-sharing others' content without incurring shadow-ban from Instagram and TikTok. I'm not even sure I would call it that; however, what I am about to experiment with has some bearing on the aforementioned restriction. Basically, following the sharing of content, the various platforms, while implementing a whole series of visual and audio modifications, indirectly mark, without warning me, my content as 'unsuitable' to be shown in the 'Explore' or 'For You' section. Let me be clear, I do not receive a warning from Instagram or TikTok about copyright infringement or anything else; it is simply as if one and the other prevent me from reaching new followers, going so far as to 'hide' my posts even from my supporters.

As I have stated before, I have implemented every modification in order to circumvent the individual platforms' systems for detecting the reuse of duplicate content. Nevertheless, I do not know the reason for this stagnation in views. Other people do not run into this problem, and I do not know how this is possible. I probably make some mistake during the editing process. Perhaps, the cause of this inconvenience could be attributable to other interacting factors. However, as I am not a repost expert, I cannot comment on this, but only speculate. Therefore, I am looking for someone who can provide me with more targeted assistance.

Thanks for you for your prompt reply. I have tried using four accounts. I didn’t buy them. I just created them by myself. Yes, I include captions and pertinent hashtags. No, I am not copying and pasting the same captions from the original videos. I have created a thread, and I hope to get an answer. I can’t change my device. However, I have created a new account, using a fresh 5G IP. I have also warmed it up, commenting and liking reels based on my niche. I rely on your suggestions, and I am ready to answer to your questions.

How's it going? Did you manage to get more views with the new account and new proxy?

I tried creating a new account and "warming it up". I used the IP of my data connection instead of a proxy. However, despite posting original content (created by me) and reels of others, I did not get any views. For security reasons, I had also installed and reinstalled the Instagram app, but even that was not enough to solve the problem.

Have you tried using a different device? It seems like they might have fingerprinted yours.

No, I did not try any different device. Actually, I can’t change mine.

I think the same as TaMNoNa. Instagram can recognize your device in a few ways. They track things like device IDs, MAC addresses, and even stuff like your screen size and browser settings. Even if you change accounts or IPs, these unique markers can give you away if the device was flagged before. So, if it's a device ban, switching other things won't make much difference..

So, I cannot take any further action, except to change the device? At the moment, I only use the Instagram app to upload content to the platform.

Unfortunately, if it’s a device ban, switching to a new device is usually the only reliable solution. If getting a new device isn’t an option right now, you could try using an Android emulator or a virtual device on your computer as a workaround. However, I can’t guarantee it will work better since I never tried it this way myself. Just make sure it’s set up with a fresh IP and doesn’t share any connection with your previous accounts. Also, you might be able to find affordable used phones on Facebook Marketplace or in local Facebook groups in your area.

Yes, but in order to be 'shadow-banned' from Instagram, one must engage in conduct contrary to the community guidelines. In my case, apart from reposting other people's reels, I did not violate the platform's terms of service. More precisely, I did not conduct spam activities or use bots to simulate human interactions or fictitiously increase the number of my followers. Therefore, it seems quite absurd to me that Instagram has subjected all my profiles to certain restrictions, going so far as to ban my device.

I get what you’re saying, it does sound frustrating. Sometimes, even reposting can trigger restrictions if Instagram’s algorithm flags the content or activity as "inauthentic". It’s not always about breaking major guidelines, but rather how their system interprets patterns. Trying a new device or virtual setup might still be worth it to avoid further issues.

Sure, I get it. However, a question arises for me: if republishing content from other creators constitutes inappropriate behaviour for Instagram, how can other users engage in the same behaviour without incurring penalties from the platform's algorithm?

Good question, maybe someone more experienced can answer that. From my perspective, apart from trying to change the device, I don’t see anything else...
