Sorry my typo errors. What do you mean by many "mass post" now?

Posting more than one reel a day?

Or as single entrepreneur, the Hormozi lite version;

Daily one longform video cut out some shorts ,then post them to youtube, the audio to spotify (podcasts very slow to bring clients)

Then make reels from these shorts, post to FB and IG, Linkedin

Then have a blog , posting 2-3 posts a day organic seo+ syndicate them to medium.

That's the lite version of Hormozi when you to all yourself .

I would concentrate on IG,FB and youtube+ your blog.

I recently clicked on a persons followers and following list. No account was shown and Instagram showed a message “we restrict certain activities to keep our community safe”

I can see other peoples followers but not this persons. Why?

It sounds like that account got Shadow banned or is in the process of being deactivated. I've seen that before in my DMs where a random person would message me and I'll click on their profile to see who they are and I would see the same thing. Then a few days later the account was removed.

Did you check if you can view that person's account from another account of yours?

They have already hidden the followers and followings list for verified accounts, But there's still a way to see them by scraping the Lists via API. But not possible to see it directly. I wont be surprised if they roll this feature out for everyone down the line, That will mess many services up.

It actually has and I'm searching for scrapers that work right now, at least for own accounts

If you can see still see other people's list ,this looks more like a restriction
on that particular account or a temporary limitation. Instagram can show the we restrict certain activites
message when certain activities is limited .I had wait and check them again later before assuming its permanent chage
 
Check the same profile from another account. If the list is visible there, the restriction is probably related to your account/session rather than the profile itself.
 
The account owner might have restricted your access or switched the account to private :))) usually, you'd be able to see it.

well i do not think they have already started to delete follower list, since this message comes when Instagram temporarily restricts some features of your account
 
They have experimented with hiding likes before, but hiding followers completely seems unlikely as it’s a core part of social proof for creators.
 
Instagram still shows followers and following on most accounts. I have not seen any official update saying this will stop for everyone.

naw they were just blocked because their IP was flagged as a bot it happens to everyone when doing competitor research ngl
 
It's not a global rollout for everyone, just Instagram's automated safety limit triggering on specific profiles. Whenever they detect unusual activity or potential scraping, they restrict list visibility temporarily. Though they already hide followers for some verified/creator accounts, for normal users it's usually just a temporary restriction.
 
Looks like you must have seen that accounts followers many times, which makes them restrict it to you now
 
I’ve encountered this situation before. I used a secondary account to check where the problem lay.

I have never seen this before, and It's not about any update on the followers and following list. It might be that the person has restricted you, or that, due to some activities, Instagram has restricted that person's account.
