Hey everyone, we all know there are issues with Instagram right now, and their AI technology can ban your account for just about anything—even if you’re not doing anything wrong.

When I try to act naturally—warming up my accounts, not spamming, etc.—I usually get banned within the first two weeks. For example, when I leave two comments or like two Reels in a natural way. I don’t even think about it when I do it; I’m just scrolling through Instagram and sometimes I’ll like or comment on something, and suddenly, after doing that recently, I got banned (And my friend got one too)

TODAY: I created an account at 7 a.m., posted 6 videos in a row—the same ones as before without changing the metadata, etc.—I just wanted to test if I’d get banned. Right now, I have 25,000 views on the latest video, and it’s going up, so it’s possible there might even be 100k views by tonight.

Why haven’t I been banned on this account yet? I clearly spammed. I even used a device and IP that was banned 3 days ago. When I try to do everything right and safely, I get banned XD? Anyone else have this happen?

Another informational thread from me and an example of how things are currently working

It seems to me that right now it doesn't matter whether you use aged/new/warm up/don't warm up. It's just broken! The AI is stupid, plain and simple—it makes mistakes. You only need to chat with GPT for two minutes to see that this piece of crap has the IQ of a shoe.

Maybe they just haven't had a chance to pay attention yet LOL
but i agree The AI is stupid
 
Are you using proxies? If so you are probably cooked because of that, session times in proxies are inconsistent. Using virtual devices that dont properly spoof hardware sensors is also a way to be flagged
 
There's an option to label your content as "AI" to prevent your page from randomly getting suspended. This applies when you follow the TOS. Just keep that in mind.
 
IG isn’t random — it’s just inconsistent

Sometimes “safe” actions trigger flags, while obvious spam slips through (for now).
Have you noticed if bans happen after certain actions (like comments or follows)?

Maybe you are just lucky with that account. The algorithm is not perfect in detecting negative activity.
