How do these people just grab someone else's content and upload 20x a day, not get detected by Instagram? How do they even maintain high views, even uploading 20x a day + the content being stolen?

Example page:
https://www.instagram.com/cs2twitch/reels/ (All the reels this guy uploads is from other people)
 
they’re prob using lots of burner accounts, rotating proxies, and spreading the uploads over time so ig’s algo doesn’t catch on quick. also stealing content that’s already blowing up helps bc it’s proven to get views. high views come from riding existing trends and maybe some bot engagement or paid boosts. not really sustainable if you ask me bc they will get banned sooner or later

This kind of spam usually involves minor video re-editing (re-encoding, audio pitch shift, small visual changes) to bypass content matching, plus hashed file manipulation. They often run multiple accounts, each with its own clean environment, and stagger uploads over time. Engagement might be faked through private networks. To avoid detection through IP or device fingerprinting, many rely on mobile proxies,these offer real carrier-grade IPs, which help accounts look more organic and reduce bans even under heavy activity.
 
I used to use spoofing to promote OF models on IG using hundreds of accounts.
 
There could be multiple things he must be doing :

-He must be changing the metadata before uploading so it shows up as Unique Videos.
-He must be having many accounts doing the same thing and this is just one of them, some blow up and some dont.
-If you check his bio he has written 'DM for Credit/Removal'
 
Most agencies that have reel farms have to change the Hash and meta data of the posts. This allows the platform to detect the content as "unique" so that it can get a higher reach compared to a "repost"/"duplicate".
 
Here's the shortest summary:

Instagram prioritizes original content. Re-uploaded posts get suppressed from recommendations, and frequent re-uploaders lose visibility.
 
There could be multiple things :

-They spam it in bulk accounts and some of them survive and grow like crazy, in short they do it in mass.
-They slightly change the metadata so they dont get detected
-Or either they figured out how to get away with it and bank money out of it.
 
It's not a big deal. Just editing those videos just a bit does the job, it modifies their IDs. There are already several tools and bots that does this automatically behind the scenes if you just use their reposting modules.
Like ffmpeg ?. Can you recommend some bots
 
they survive cuz of volume + smart tweaking. slight edits (zoom, crop, filter, captions, speed) help bypass insta’s duplicate detection.

also, if they avoid triggering copyright bots (music/visual claims) and keep engagement high, insta won’t flag them fast.

meta cares more about engagement per reel than originality – sad but true.
once one reel pops, the rest get boosted too.

These accounts often use several tactics:
  • Mass Volume: Uploading frequently increases the chances of some content hitting the algorithm just right. It's a numbers game.
  • Viral Content: They identify what's already popular on other platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Twitch) and quickly repost it. Trending audio and highly engaging clips are key.
  • "Fair Use" Loopholes/Lack of Enforcement: While technically copyright infringement, Instagram's detection isn't perfect. Small accounts might fly under the radar. Many original creators don't actively pursue every repost.
  • No Credit/Minimal Edits: Often, they don't give proper credit or make only minor edits. This can bypass basic detection if there's no "Original by" tag, though Instagram is trying to improve original content prioritization.
  • Audience Engagement: If their audience engages heavily (likes, shares, comments), Instagram's algorithm sees it as valuable content, even if it's not original.
  • Niche Focus: They often stick to a very specific niche (like CS2 clips), attracting a dedicated audience interested in that content, regardless of its origin.
  • Account Age/Trust: Older accounts with a history of engagement might have more leeway with the algorithm.
It's a risky strategy as Instagram is increasingly trying to prioritize original content and crack down on uncredited reposting.

They may also repost popular content that has already gained traction, ensuring higher engagement. Additionally, they might use proxy services or VPNs to avoid detection and prevent their accounts from being flagged
 
I slightly edit the video by changing its speed, cropping the frame, or adding filters. Sometimes I alter the audio too. These tweaks help bypass Instagram’s detection system so I can re-upload without getting flagged.
 
There are repurposer software to edit those videos and make some minor edits, enough to make those videos seems ''unique and original''
 
They slightly edit stolen videos (crop, add text/music) to bypass detection.
High posting volume increases chances of going viral, even if some flop.
They use clean or aged accounts to avoid immediate bans.
Instagram’s system doesn’t flag all reposts unless reported or copyright claimed.
