Has anyone used any SMM Panel services for Insta followers after the change? I'm wondering if they are still reasonable.

Has anyone used services that have actually worked and kept the followers (yes I know fake followers are not ideal, and one should get organic; but in this case, one leads to the other). I'd be curious which services work for you. In our case, not large numbers- like to get something like 500 initially. Maybe later a few thousand.

Be curious to hear what works.

Currently none of the SMM Panels are working, Even the best quality ones are dropping and they make fake claims all the time.
 
Yep, Instagram has made quite a few updates recently, including new limits around followers and scraping verified followers.

Because of these changes, a lot of SMM panels are either not working properly at the moment or the followers drop pretty quickly.

I’d recommend testing with a very small amount first. You can try some of the sellers here on BlackHatWorld or test a few different panels before spending too much. Definitely don’t buy a few thousand right away, start small, check the retention and quality, and only scale if the results look good.

Yes no Panel is working right now. 100% agree with you.

I have found that the quality and retention of IG follower services be very significantly changed .
For a smaller boost like 400 to 500 followers I use srvices that focus gradual delivery and better quality
accounts rather choosing cheapest option

Check the SMM panels marketplace thread here for this. Their owners themselves will respond to you on those threads with most accurate info.

Marketplace threads are typically the ideal forum for asking because you get your information straight from the people who own the panels. It just takes a little comparison shopping.
 
Over the past few days, I've tried about 6 different SMM panels for Instagram services, and none of them work. After 1-2 days, all the added followers completely drop.

Does anyone have any reliable services to recommend right now?
 
I've tried some of the panels here on BHW but for Twitter... and I have to say, they were all horrible.
You can try ads to get a head start and they are quite cheap.
 
We tried a few of these and they worked on paper, but not in real life. The followers showed up, but there was basically no engagement. Imagine an account with 20k followers and a post getting zero likes or comments—it just looks fake.
 
I’ve noticed people talking about this too. Curious to see how the September update affects follower growth and reach over the next few weeks.
 
I have tried more than 10 SMM panels, but they are not working — the followers drop after 24 hours. I would like to know if anyone has found a solution.
