Creating your own accounts or buying them for Instagram automation: My experience.

For many of us in this space, the biggest challenge we face is this: whether to buy accounts or create our own.

I’ll explain my experience in detail and share my conclusion. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on purchased accounts, and the truth is that the ban rate ranges from 30% to 70%, depending on the provider. "Aged" accounts, in particular, often have high ban rates—especially those from Turkey, Thailand, India, or other countries with massive bot activity.

So, months ago, I started creating my own accounts for personal use, and it was the best decision ever. The ban rate is only 10–20%, even though they are new. Beyond the security of being the only one with the login credentials, they last longer—likely because Instagram trusts them more or because they haven't been flagged previously. So, if you can create your own accounts, do it. If you lack the software or alternatives, buying them is an option, but creating them yourself is undoubtedly the only way to scale.

Do you create new accounts from single phone using proxies?

Same here. The accounts I make myself almost always do better than the ones I buy. It takes more work at the start, but it's worth it in the long run.

I have seen this trend as well While purchased accounts may appear to be more appealing at first glance, previous behavior and history tend to make them far more unstable. With the lower chances of bans involved, the extra effort is usually worthwhile when building up your own account

Purchasing an account anyways never made sense to me since the beginning, You dont have quality control, you dont have clarity on how the accounts were created, whether it was warmed up or not, how long the accounts were inactive for, just doesnt make sense at all in overall perspective.
