Can we still safe bulk 10m followers on ig nowadays My 2023 account is still alive

Hello everyone!
I want to drop a brief case study today and ask for some professional advice regarding social media management. Back in 2023 i managed to execute a large scale growth experiment on one of my instagram profiles. Using a custom stealth automation setup and high quality mobile proxies i safely generated ovre 10 million followers onto a single page. The entire procces took about 10 or 12 months. There was no shadowbans or instant drops. To keep the account completely safe from meta detection algorithms during the growth phase i used a personal lifestyle vlog as organic camouflage. A family member was uploading real videos and singing content. It did not gain massive organic reach but it masked the automated growth perfectly. Fast forward to late 2026 this veteran page is still completely alive and standing strong. A while ago i decided to wipe the slate clean and deleted all old videos and past posts. After more than two years of total inactivity the natural drop off was suprisingly low. The page is currently sitting dead solid at around 9.2 million followers. The system trust score is maximum. Now i am planning to take the wheel myself and start uploading 100 percent unique original video content without showing my face to finally monetize this asset. My question to the experienced marketing specialists on this forum if you had a trusted 9.2m follower blank account in your hands right now what faceless original video niche would you launch to secure a permanent cash flow? I am highly leaning towards faceless asmr triggers or relaxation content because it has a universal global appeal and zero copyright strike risks. What is your opinion on this? Is raw automation of this caliber still achievable on instagram today or did meta seal all the gaps lets discuss

I would be careful with a large follower order. A sudden increase can sometimes cause problems with an account. Keeping the growth steady is a better option.

Would be worth doing some selfless posting activities for a short time, kind of agreed on the above comment.

Try to keep the niche of the new posts similar to that of the old ones. And only deviate the niche slowly slowly. (As I had been in similar positions in the past.)

From an agency perspective, I wouldn’t try to replicate the old automation approach today—the risk of losing an account that large is simply too high. If I inherited a 9M+ page, I’d focus first on rebuilding genuine engagement and testing a few faceless content formats before committing to one niche. ASMR or relaxation could work, but I’d test retention, shares, and audience response rather than assuming the follower count will translate into revenue. With an audience that size, the existing audience data would be more valuable than chasing another automation strategy.

Thanks for advice i totally agree about no automation anymore only pure legall and organic growth now. To be honest i dont really count on my current followers traffic because they are mostly mixed bulk bots like arabs indians pakistani and asia audience from 2023. Here is my real plan i actually hold 7 aged asmr domans from 2019 and one very old master doman from 2012. Right now they are blank without sites but i want to connect all 6 old domans to redirect into my main 2012 master doman and invest heavily into building it. I will upload original asmr videos to youtube then embed them on this main doman. After that i will share the doman links across more than 50 major social networks and platforms pointing all external traffic strictly to my site where the full youtube player lives. This way the main website gets all the organic traffic and authority while youtube and ig algorithms see great external retention and rank my videos way higher. I am absolutely fine even if i get only 300 or 500 honest real vievs a day at the start. I am fully ready to put in the work and grind for the first 6 months with zero profit just to feed the search engines properly and build true trust score. No shortcuts this time.

Whatever niche you choose, I’d test before monetizing aggressively. Having 9.2m followers sounds amazing, but the real asset is whether you can wake that audience back up.

The niche has to be similar to the previous niche as if you suddenly change the niche from A to Z, Existing Users will get completely confused.

Secondly expect more drops in initial weeks as you will be activating the account after 2 years, so you will face lots of followers loss in the initial 1-2 months, and engagement wont be that good as well.

never had that much big account to handle but i once build a automaiton system posting system on 60 instagram phone and accounts were from 1500 followes to 2500 followers and it worked very nice and smooth
just keep in mind use iphone for posting
no multiple account just 3 per phone if u are using multiple phones
