Basically, this year i've been hit with all kinds of blocks and verifications, even though i rarely follow more than 50 people a day and my account is old. I've even had to do two selfie verifications.

Now, yesterday i got blocked for 24 hours after maybe 15-20 actions. Today i got blocked again for 24 hours after maybe 10 actions. So it's like i can only use Instagram to look at my feed. Shouldn't they just stop the BS and tell me i can only use IG to look at things? Anyway.

The blocks there i get though are pretty stupid. On the web app, it doesn't let me visit profiles. It also doesn't let me visit my inbox. However, it lets me like photos and follow people through the like list of the photos i can see. On mobile, it also stops me from visiting profiles, but lets me go to my inbox and DM people. However, it shows me the block warning 2 or 3 times, but after clicking "ok", i'm allowed to send messages.

So, what are they exactly trying to do? Because it seems they're trying to do something, but whatever they're trying to do, is not working. Also, why the 1 day blocks only? Years ago they would block accounts for days.

Can this be just a huge bug?

Btw, this is what i'm getting: https://ibb.co/BzZj7dw

These guys need to get their shit together. Hire some fucking help, instagram.

How about you let it chill for some time? Seems like you've hit a filter somewhere that has put you on a bad users list. You will keep getting these if you don't relax that account for a while, at least till the algo doesn't see you as a spammer anymore.

It really means that your account (old or not - it doesn't matter) has a low trust score. Let it cool off, use another account ; it can only get worst and worst if you keep going with this one, for now :/
 
They're trying to delay your actions for some reason. Either you got a real bad IP neighborhood on your ISP and someone else is fucking with IG using your IP range or some other footprint is tripping their security filters.

It's just my personal account. I wonder when are they gonna finally ban me for good. Not sure why haven't they done it yet.

Don't play this card. Once banned, it's black & white to recover your account. It can come back fast or not at all.. I wouldn't recommend spam/automating main account, try to use satellite accounts to do the job / or another strategy

Dude, i'm not spamming and i have no automated accounts. I follow maybe 20 people a day. Nothing crazy. All my growth is manual. I'm just wondering when are they gonna ban me because of following 15 or 20 people. If i'm always getting blocked, they might as well just ban me.

But if that's the case, why not just ban me? They've asked me for phone and mail verifications around 20 times just this year, and twice for selfie verifications. How fucking dumb is their AI tech that even though i've proved numerous times that i'm a human and all i do really it following a few dozen people a day, they still can't leave me alone?

And no, it isn't related to my ip. I'm the only one using this connection.

I donno why exactly, but let's consider for a moment that they have almost 1 billion people using their system on a daily basis.

The actions you triggered probably match something their AI has seen within this 1 billion active monthly users.... It's just too large scale.

Same with Google. Some folks who do SEO forget they're dealing with a database that is larger than anything they've ever seen. SEO takes months now bc Google's database couldn't update in weeks even if they had alien computers.

Some people sit behind a regular PC and do SEO and think they're dealing with something personal and tiny. It's not. They don't even know you exist. IG is like a sea and you're just poking a crab somewhere.

They know i exist when it comes to blocking me after doing 10 actions. Is this crappy Ai or isn't this crappy AI? The whole system is trash. They're trying to block me, but it's like they're not quite sure what they're trying to block. Just a month ago i was getting blocked but it didn't prevent me from doing anything. Sometimes i wonder if this situation isn't simply a giant bug.
 
In the past, you probably didn't follow only 20 users a day ? (when your blocks started)

That's why I said to not use main account : they are way too important

I followed maybe around 40 people a day. Nothing crazy, really. And not even everyday. IG is cock blocking the shit out of me. I use this account to talk to friends, post my personal shit and meet girls. They're jealous.

I get you. But since you're going against an AI and not someone you can punch, you'd better understand the algorithm because cursing at it will not make you $$$.

The algorithm makes no sense. I get blocked after following less than 15 people? Not even in a row? With a 6 year old account? There isn't much to understand. IG tries to fight spam but it's obviously a big failure at doing so and can't discern from real users and bots.

Let the account sleep for a few days.
After that use it on mobile phone on a cellular IP
Chat with someone for nothing
Like a few posts

Start f / u and you should be out of this trap.

P.S. IG don't care what you think. Neither any of those tech giants. If you want stay or leave. They need to earn money and people not going to give up to hit them hard as long as is possible.

There's something else you need to figure out.

First step is to stop blaming the algorithm and try to understand it instead.

Your competition is doing it, so can you.

Since the ban was lifted i haven't done much when it comes to following/unfollowing. I think i unfollowed 1 person and 2 days, liked a bunch of posts and chatted with a bunch of people. It's hard to let it sleep completely because it's my main account. People message me here, and i usually don't give out my phone number. Too many stalkers in the past, and i wanted out.

I really don't understand this. Why? I use bost mobile and web, but i spend more time on the web because i can't stand typing on cellphones. I do use cellular IP once in a while, so it's not like they don't know i have a cellular connection.

That's fine because i also don't care about what they think and i will ALWAYS cheat when possible. No respect for them or their rules.

Btw, it isn't even "stay or leave". Didn't the people who went to parlor "left" but these tech giants(Amazon) still found a way to shut them down? They just want to control everything. They pretty much own the internet at this point.

Reddit is the same bullshit, but boy, do i enjoy to evade their bans? It's so delicious. Fucking pieces of shit. They can suck my doggy dick.

Hi! You should immediately stop doing anything on your page, your page is at risk because instagram has paid attention to you. Wait for some time to start any activity.
