Creating accounts, auto-sending DMs, getting banned, rinse & repeat?

Hello,
I've got a list of a couple thousands IG accounts I want to send the same DM to, which redirects them to another page. It's not a CPA or something like that, rather a legit offer giving recipents real value. The thing is, I cannot send more than a couple of DMs per day without getting this functionality restricted.

How come do I send DMs to more than 15000 people?

My idea is to create a bot with Selenium(or to moblie, which would make switching IPs easier) which would do the following: create an account -> send DMs to people from the list until it get banned -> change IP -> repeat

Is my thinking on point? Is there a way I don't know to make it more efficient?

I don't care about getting a response from those people on IG, the idea is just to send a message to them, a couple of % will click the link included and go further in the sales funnel, outside of IG.

Thanks

1) Use existing solutions.

Word of advice, Instagram is constantly changing their HTML and so selenium bots need constant updates (even when the selectors are good enough).

2) Separate creating accounts from sending DM's.

If one of the modules has an issue, the other won't suffer.

3) Link to an @ page, not a link (otherwise you will be banned). Include the link in the @ of the person you linked.

Can't you scan for strings?

You can. Your selectors can be amazing, but Instagram has literally been making big page changes for the past few months.

On top of that there's a lot stuff to be done if you would like to be undetected during creation (AI included)
