Another HUGE ER drop

elPimps · Jul 12, 2018

I use follow liker since the beginning of my acc and i'm between 20k and 22k.
The bot is set to follow, like, unfollow with medium settings (800-900 follow, 900-1000 unfollow when active, 400-700 likes)
I used to post high quality and unique photos with 400-800 likes and various comments but now everything dropped to 100-200 and low comments.

I really don't know how to fix this and what caused this drop.

Is follow/unfollow a practice that FLAGS your account and then IG removes it from index/feed?

Everyone is being hit with a drop in engagement. If you're not getting temp banned, it's not you. It's Instagram's algorithm. Nothing much you can do, but plow through.

not true, last time I used bots was years ago... engagement dropped recently. The more followers I get the more erratic it gets, Im at 80k

My engagement dropped drastically too from 3k+ likes to 1k. I'm no getting new followers again after i got hit with a PV. I think it's some sort of algo change

Stop posting that many photos and start posting videos. The reach is way smaller on videos than photos. Everything is evolving and if you have a viral page the way to go is video.

You just have to check viral pages, they don't post photos anymore.

i don't have a viral page but a business one for the activity...

Forget about follow/unfollow, best way to get your account flagged.

So it's better to remove f/u ?
Can i get my ER back using a bot for dms+likes ?
Are dms easy to flag?

Yeah it's mostly an algo thing.. In 30 days I just have 10 new followers while I scored before 10 a day. Seems like those follow/unfollow people are popping op like nowhere. Get 2 new followers a day and lose 3 a day. I'm just 15 followers further than 30 days ago with only unique high quality content.

Well on my account i just stopped every activity for 48h to let the account rest and then a started again with posting/following etc. and it was actually giving a small boost

This is also happening to people who have never used a bot. Everyone is complaning in IG.

I decided to stop botting and resting the account for a week or so starting today to see if it improves, I have always heard about resting accounts but I have never purposely tested myself... the only time I took a break from the account it worked though, lots of verified accounts commented on my first post when I came back. Hoping to see an improvement after this week, specially since botting seem to be so bad for accounts.

It's definitely way much better! F/U times are over even if some say it is not.

Regarding your ER, @tux made a really interesting thread regarding an automated strategy he uses. Check it out.

Concerning DMs, Instagram does not flag them. Users do. So bring value and increase your number of daily MP slowly till you reach your account limit.

So how can you grow your account today in a way that is not organic (viral stuff)?

The recipe is still the same. Publish great content, interact with related accounts, bot likes/comment on relevant hashtags/locations/people, get shoot-outs...

So likes/comments are more likely to help gain more followers than follow/unfollow?
