Massplanner. Because if you ever decide to do different social platforms these guys have options. Also, they have a lot more resources.

Massplanner dude. I switched over from Instagress and it's a world of difference.

How much did you pay for the custom scrapers? I can't seem to find any general pricing on what I should pay someone to make a custom one.

Idk man. Zuck said it himself that privacy doesn't really mean much in the modern world. Yet Snap is pushing privacy (well not anymore). They've got a big ticket stock price attached to their name. They don't want to devalue that.

Couple of predictions I have based on this theory: 1. You get to pay to be in top posts of certain hashtags 2. Hashtags stop working altogether, and in order to get reach you pay to come up in feeds instead 3. They let us use hashtags still, but make reach only work for well established...

This^ Best way to check is hop on a browser and check. I use Opera with the built in VPN so you KNOW it can't possibly be because you're looking from a relevant party to your account. I never use Opera to sign into ANY IG account. I look up the account name, then search through each tag...

Well fuck me this is probably the best post in the IG sub right now. It's clear that interacting with the people you follow is critical, but my next question then is, how the hell do you create new reach then?

I can't find any other reason besides follow/unfollow, hashtags or comment pods. Though, I'm not using comment pods on some of the accounts that are having issues. Damn, 40%? You should try checking via browser that hasn't been associated with an account. I use a VPN too to check.

Yeah, I mean engagement groups. It appears that they do have an influence on being targeted by some sort of Instagram filters. 1k followers is pretty small to be making that kind of a call. How many likes per photo? I'd double check the small hashtags you're in. PS How did your promo post do...

I have it set to liking photos as well, but I feel conversions could be much higher. Can we discuss more about your custom scrappers? How did you develop them? Are you using these in combination with a pre-made program like MP, FL or Instagress? You also mentioned that you DM, do you automate...

See, this is where I don't know where the problem lies. My belief is that Instagram is making it so that you cannot do proper outreach without promoting posts through them. If you want a fresh account, make a new one and start over. Pain in the ass. I say keep going and don't waste all that...

I feel like the like apps aren't helping. Sounds a lot like a shadow ban to me. Test it out: 1. Find a small hashtag 2. Put it on a photo about 1-2 days old 3. Open up separate browser, do Incognito Mode or equivalent 4. Search hashtag 5. Do you pop up in any of the tags you used? Instagram...

I've noticed the highest rate of shadow bans come out of engagement groups now.

I couldn't agree more. That's what I guess my point was with the whole pay-to-play comment. Seems like the good ol' days of high engagement are over boys and girls.

I imagine these are Massplanner features. I'm using Instagress and like it because it's web based. I am probably at a huge disadvantage using Instagress, huh?

Are you in any comment pods? One of the trending factors I have found is that comment pods are actually affecting engagement and starting the flagging process. This is just a trend I notice and not fact.

1. For local businesses, are you filtering location + tag or only filtering the location? 2. Do you provide hashtag blocks for your customers? 3. Is your goal to get a large following for clients, or to create conversions for their business? Cheers, thanks for all the stellar advice. I've been...

Hey guys, Been managing accounts for about a year now. Most people who read these forums know that there have been waves of 'shadow bans' happening left and right as of late. I've personally experienced some weird engagement. Was growing several high engagement niche accounts. Engagement is...

I am stopping Instagress. I didn't start doing it for clients because it doesn't seem right. Everything is done manually now. Do you think this would be a problem? Everything is done in house by me and my team.

I agree with this 100% after thinking about it some more. Is there a way to post for clients over web and using a proxy? I'm using a Mac and I don't want to really have to be bothered.
