botting worth it?

Hi i'm using instabot.py right now to test on my personal instagram account and i've had a little over 20 followers a day. which is steady growth imo as i'm pretty new to all this. However: these followers all come from faraway lands and they don't seem "worth" it. This personal insta could maybe be used for brand endorsements so i'm just wondering if botting is worth it and if you guys would have any recommendations/ threads i could read with intel on this.

So is botting really worth it in this case?

Umm.... No. Probably not in my opinion. Never heard of instabot.py, but 20 a day is next to nothing. Manually following people in your niche can be much faster. You're probably using the "follow and then unfollow method" with the bot, right? 20 is quite low, and although I don't know you're settings, but either you're playing really safe or your bot is just crap. I am new to instagram too, and I've started about a week ago. I have around 700 real followers that are all in my niche (1500 more are real followers but I bought them, so around 2200 in total). From "faraway lands" don't mean anything important. If your niche is specific, like art, anime, or cute animals, it doesn't matter where your followers are from as long as they are real and they are interested your niche. Following accounts manually, which takes like 30 minutes in my day, will get you more followers than 20. I get around 150 a day, with 300 being the most (that day I followed around 600 people). It doesn't take that much of your time. If you're worried about being banned, flagged, or shadowbanned, it's harder than you think. I usually look for a bigger account in my niche and follow as many followers in their niche as I can, and by "as I can" I mean i literally click as many follow buttons as instagram will allow me. It's around 20 or 30, and then I got to wait. By the end of the day, I've followed around 300 people (so I repeat the spamming around 10 times), and I haven't been banned or shadowbanned yet. In conclusion, I think you could do better; find a better bot or do it manually. Good luck!!

What do you mean by “i am only allowed to follow 20-30”? Does it give you a notification or smth?

It is still worth it if you're doing it longterm
