You've probably come across this. Some accounts, especially newly created ones, compile funny videos from various sources and post 20-30 times a day. Moreover, they all have the same caption. For example, they write bizarre captions like "Footprints in Japan are now being converted into electricity."

I have a few questions about this:

1. What do they base these captions on?
2. Isn't posting this frequently harmful to the account?
3. The owners of these accounts usually manage multiple accounts and post at least 20-30 times a day to each. What tools do they use to manage so many accounts?

Does anyone have any information on this?

those random captions are just clickbait/curiosity bait, unrelated on purpose to boost comments and shares from confused ppl

So how do they manage to make so many posts in a single day?

those captions are just made to make people comment

posting frequently is harmful to the account but they're handling a bunch of accs and their goal is not to survive but rather to redirect the traffic somewhere else

anti detect browsers AND python scripts

I spoke to a few of them, and they all said they downloaded it from the mobile app. Have you ever managed an account like that before?

they can have phone farms, with proxies

or emulators

A lot of these accounts use content automation tools and templates to manage high posting volume

The captions are often generated from trends engagement tactics or AI generated ideas rather than being directly related to the video

Posting frequently is not always harmful but low quality or repetitive content can affect reach over time

Hello, thank you for your reply. Where can I find these automations? Do you have any information?
 
A lot of the time the words under the pictures, on Instagram are added by the people who made the pictures. They are made by a computer to make Instagram easier to look at.
 
Those weird captions are intentional pattern interrupts designed to game the algorithm and drive comments from people asking what the caption even means.

They scrape bizarre trivia or use bulk AI to generate captions that trigger viewer confusion and arguments in the comments, which hacks the algorithm for viral reach while dodging spam filters.
 
1. A lot of those captions are probably AI-generated or just random text to make each post look different.
2. Posting 20–30 times a day can work for some accounts, but if the content isn't good, it can also hurt the account.
3. Most people doing that are using scheduling or automation tools to manage all the accounts and uploads.

Those captions are mainly used to grab the attention and make people spend more time on the post.

Posting a lot can work for some accounts if the content quality is high but if the content quality drops then it may not help for long time.

For managing multiple accounts most people use social media scheduling tools to save time.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your detailed answer.

Could you recommend a few software programs? I'd really like to try an account that doesn't post videos with negative ratings, giving the feeling that we're sharing them from the same application.

One observation I have made is that there seems to be a lot of testing being done on these pages. For ex , they would share the same video but with diffeerent captions and then observe which one performs better. It could even be the case that the caption itself was nothing but one of the variables of the test and not a description of the video.

Hi, actually, it's not exactly like that. They take different videos and share them with the same subtitles. But I think posting 20 times a day is too much, maybe even more.

Actually, if I knew how it was done, I have a really great business model in mind.
