[Personally]
On my personal account, if I user I don't know mentions me on a post belonging to another user and neither account [nor the photo] is related to my primary interest area I will:
- report the comment as spam
- report the photo they're posting on as spam
- report the account mentioning me as spam
- report the account posting the photo as spam
- if there's comments on the post from other users complaining about having been spammed, I will contact them tell them to delete the comment [b/c no one is going to see it anyway and they've only added to the legitimacy of the accounts by commenting, mentioning back etc] and give them instructions on how to report the photo, comment & both accounts as spam
THE ONLY follow-back you will receive is from OTHER spam-bot. If you're seeing very high follow-back, the accounts your spamming are other spam accounts reciprocating your spam to get a follow/like from your bot. REAL PEOPLE DO NOT respond to spam. It's very easy for real people to identify and they DO NOT LIKE IT.
Your issue here isn't IG limits or any IG algorithm - the accountwill be shut down once it receives a certain number of flags [I don't know if IG automates this or if a human 'validates' the reports] but you'll be flagged by real people as spam - drawing the attention of IG one way or another.
If you are 'flying under the radar' of IG's algorithms for commenting with mentions - it's a VERY CLEAR indicator you have not reached any actual real people. People have a zero tolerance for spam. People aren't stupid [only the bots other people created are dumb enough to 'reward' you for spamming them].
As much as I want to believe the mladz method, the stuff above makes a lot of logical sense. I wanted to believe mentions would solve my unfollow limits. Alas it seems like it was wishful thinking.
