Mass Planners Bottleneck

[star3]

Spoke too soon anyway, MP is only letting me import 20k in a clip.

Not sure how to edit post, but didn't realize "enforce limit on lists" was checked off in settings, so that was my issue.

Hey guys, I just wanted to post this here for more exposure to the issue. It is in my opinion that this is Mass Planners #1 limitation/issue and for me at least, took a while to diagnose. Its quite likely its affecting many of you guys on here as well.

So in a nutshell this is the issue.

MASS PLANNER DOESNT SCRAPE ENOUGH ACCOUNTS

What does this mean?

Your accounts wont finish all there actions.
Accounts with 2m followers will give you errors saying there are no more users available from that source.
Lowered account productivity and less followers gained per day

The reason this happens is because Mass Planner pulls a set number of followers per source for you to use on a daily basis. So regardless of whether its an account with 2m followers or 20k followers, its scraping the same number of accounts from both of them each day.

Now this wont effect the majority of you, however if you have multiple accounts in the same niche this can definitely effect you. I currently have 3 accounts each pulling from 10-12 accounts and they are getting this issue big time. (I found using source sets on MP worked much better than having 30 accounts pull from 100 sources)

So how can you fix this?

Now there are two ways to "fix" this including turning off the setting "Enable follow different users across all Instagram accounts configured in Mass Planner". However this then creates an even worse issue where you will have multiple accounts following the same account in rapid succession. I had one guy comment on a post that he wasn't to happy that 6 of my accounts had followed him over the course of a minute. Nooooot great.

The only other fix is to increase the number of sources, but if your in smaller niche and/or have multiple accounts this wont fix anything. I currently use a little over 100 sources for my accounts, and yet that isn't enough. Sadly there are no more sources for my niche. My accounts only follow about 400 people a day during a follow cycle, which isn't very high for many of you.

What would it take to completely fix this?

Mass Planner needs to add a small feature into the settings that lets us control the scrape settings to our needs. Until they add this, then what you can do with this program is limited.

I mean seriously, telling me that a 2m follower account has no more users for me follow after a few days is ridiculous. Let me know what you guys think, I'm sure some of you are experiencing this right now as well.

Hey there, so i'm new to MP, when you mention about the the enable follow different users across accounts' option, how do i turn this on? Where abouts in MP is it? Am having trouble finding it :/

Also, not really about this topic, but do people ever use the geo based source follow? If so, is this a good option? If not, how come?

Thanks in advance

Go to settings.. Social platforms.. I'd suggest hitting up support though if you have any questions, they usually respond extremely fast.

Generally local businesses would use the geo targeting tool in order to attract nearby customers. Also if you have an online business that lets say sells something like jerseys for a specific team, then you could target that teams location(city/state) and use hashtags to specifically target those who are interested.

Other than situations like that I dont think their is a huge need for it.

Hey everyone, good news! They fixed the issue in todays update. They removed the 20k limitation Now you can pull from all of the accounts followers instead of just 20k.

Its 100k now for lists but we still have to see whether m.p can scrape users properly or not.
