FL doesn't really have the FLC feature out. You have to scrape users and put their names as "FLC:username" and then do the same for scrape photos.

623,000 Followers - All accounts unfollowing now. This number will drop.
Yeah FL is messed up with this process. Last time I did this, it liked 20 photos of every user it followed. FL Support told me to set the maximum to 2 photos and set the automation to 1 minute. But thats ridiculous. That means every minute, on the minute, a user is doing a like or a follow. That looks exactly like a bot not a human being.
Plus the math doesn't work.
1200 minutes (20 hours cause 4 hours are for sleeping) = 300 Follows and 600 likes.
I was doing 500 Follows + 1000 likes, which would require 1500 minutes.

I'm trying something new. While I'm unfollowing, I've decided to LIKE recent photos less than 10-days old of my own followers, 200-300 a day. I think this may be good way to increase engagement.
Has anyone else tried tricks like this?

Just turned all my accounts on to do this. will let you know how it goes. good idea. maybe some of them will stay around even if you are unfollowing them. it would be interesting to see the ratio of followers when doing this liking versus not doing this liking while in the unfollow mode.
Something else i am testing currently is unfollowing at 1.3x the rate i am following and setting massplanner to do both at the same time. this way i am always unfollowing more users but gaining followers at the same time. I am testing this across a few accounts and will update you with how it turns out as compared to the control method (only following and only unfollowing). my theory is that the fewer people an account is following the more appealing it is for a user to follow back that account because the ratio is better.
any monetizing date yet?
I found something really interesting.. I have a side business that I started a while ago and created in Instagram acc for a year or so ago and put a bunch of high quality photos (That I took) on it and haven't published anything on that account since. I started liking/following users of my competitors and the account has started growing like crazy. My website is getting a ton of hits and the pictures are getting lots of genuine comments asking about my products..
All of my other accounts that I post on daily are growing at about half the rate of my side business's account.. I guess I just found the perfect users to like/follow!

CaptDocs,
If your account is that old and you have lots of quality content on it and you have access to all the info such as the email and phone number required for that account I would highly suggest putting the settings WAY WAY WAY up in mass planner. I have had some awesome success with accounts similar to yours that I have complete control over and are also aged. I have 1 account following up to 4k people per day and unfollowing a few days later. I get an email confirmation sometimes but most of the time its completely fine and I rake i the followers. if you are having success with this and driving traffic you need to turn it up faster.
*this is just my person experience with a 1 year old account so please dont get upset if something goes wrong after following my instructions. please update us if you find out anything interesting.

Thanks for this info! I will test it with a few accounts that are a couple years old as well (I have 100% access to the contact info for every acc I have (20-30ish dont know the number off the top of my head) which is very helpful!). I'm currently following under a 1000 a day on the account, so I will build it up over the next couple weeks and let you know what happens! 4k Seems a rather lot to follow a day, how is it not banned?????
This is a concern im currently addressing my self. a few of the accounts at this level are not growing to fast because the content is not good. I just found new sources yesterday and today. The best one is growing by 300-600 followers per day. currently at 11k but I just recently turned this one up to extremely high levels.
also i have no clue how its not getting banned but its working and im pretty happy about it.
Not op but I haven't

Interesting... Apparently the pictures are being posted but Instagram almost instantly deletes them for a lot of people/including me. I work around it by posting using Blue Stacks though.
Interesting... is this on all your accounts or just one? All of mine are posting just fine. Have you been switching the time at which massplanner posts the pictures often? (I switch em maybe every half a week or so)
Update: The account is currently getting a 45-50% follow back... I have to start unfollowing now so will update once I start following again

I only do spam accounts in MP. None are aged or anything and I only use the posting on them. For my actual IG accounts I'm building, I manually post on phones. I have been switching times/etc, but it seems that IG is enforcing posting to be done from mobile and not PC because I've had issues with other posting softwares like followliker and gramblr. I just do my posting from bluestacks now so it's fine but a bit more tedious. It's weird that yours are fine, unless you posted first when you made them through mobile then that would make sense.
That's a great ratio man, keep it up.

Guys, if you had to guess, what percentage of Instagram's 400+ million account users would you say are actually multiple-account holders?
It seems to me that, at the very least, 40% of IG accounts are not owned by individual people/businesses/brands.

I think that is a drastically lower number than 40%
yes there are a lot of accounts that are run by multiple people but I would guess that 99% of the time the person that is controlling multiple accounts has a personal account. I dont think that there are many people out there that are controlling many accounts. If i had to guess id say at the very most 10% of the IG accounts that are active are controlled by more than one person.
I have thought about this before an I think that we might have a skewed point of view because of what we are looking at everyday, meaning all the automation and threads like this one.
it would be quite interesting if we could get these statistics but it will never happen because the point of automation is to cloak what we are doing to make it look like an individual
