You said you create accounts yourself. Do you have IOS automation (with Crane?) for it or VA's or anything else?

It's a mixture. Since I don't really expect for accounts to live long (their lifespan is literally 5-15 actions) I mostly register them via API actually. With phones it's too much hassle and the result is only better slightly. Spam actions even with phones is not what they used to be.

Nice run. What does your account churn look like, how long does a mass DM account usually last before it gets banned, and are you warming new ones constantly to replace them? That's usually the part that decides if the whole thing scales or not.

They normally get banned after a few actions. Since I'm registering them on the same useragent and also the proxy is from the same location - they are far more likely to live. Normally you can't get such results with accounts you get off of marketplace, unless you are working with private suppliers who disclose you how they are making the accounts so you could adjust the set-up to mitigate bans.

Ironically warm-up is very limited, the most important part is the registering process. You can do all the warm-up you want but if the registration process is bad then the accounts will also be bad.

Thanks for all the info. i run a lead gen agency on Instagram. I have my own software that does the scraping of likers, commenters of competitors posts, i then use ai to write opener specailized for them and get them sent with human-mimicked behavior.
my questions is:
1) does IAM, let you scrape, like follow, view story of users ?
2) can i use my mobile internet as a proxy for 5 accounts as a start to understand how everything works
3) does the tool scrape the account/posts so i can target those again ?
4) how does your account sign-up look?
5) i was thinking of creating a page to sell courses of other creators like Charlie Morgan, but in that case i will have two accounts, one that likes, comment, and mass dm his followers and the main one where i can get all of those users to dm me so i can sell them the courses, so even if the second account is gone i can keep the convo in the main. what do you think about this setup ?
