Yesterday in Jarvee I scraped the user info of a few thousand Instagram accounts and today the account I used for scraping hasn't been able to follow a single account. I'm well under the 6000/month follow limit with only approximately 4000 follows. Has this happened to anyone else? How long did you/would you rest your account after this?
 
even if you didn't scraped you will get follow block
3 or 15 days

Can you explain why I should expect a 3 to 15 day block? Following 4000 people a month does not get you follow blocks, especially of that length.
 
This happened to me scraping with a different app. The follow ban lasted like 6 days. I thought my account was screwed forever. It is back to normal
 
What info did you scrape?
I scraped username, name, profile URL, bio, followers, following, user ID, number of mutual followers, profile picture URL, and number of posts.

There are not exact limits for ISG. They have moved far beyond have one size fits all limits to apply across all accounts. Limits are individual to the account. Just because they state 6000 doesn't mean that limit applies to you.

I agree. Originally 6000 was my limit but I suppose my recent activity has affected my trust score and changed that.
 
any time there a freze i always suggest x2 weeks leave account alone and build up very slowly agin

some froze accounts turn to ban if used .

there no real estemation on any figures as ig use random numbers on ban days there self for all accounts .

I think you're right. I was planning to stop using botting for growth once I reached a certain size, but I'll have to do it early I suppose.

Growing any other way takes significantly more time, money, and creativity. I got lazy once I started botting accounts but I'll try to find new avenues for consistent growth.
 
I wonder if Instagram rumors will come true that they will actually hide photo likes and followers to the public.

I could see them hiding likes in the near future but I don't think they'll hide the number of followers---especially soon. I think doing both around the same time would be too big of a change for most users to happily embrace. Most people wouldn't see the point of using the platform as for many the allure/goal is getting both of those numbers to rise and have the public see.

I agree. I think it would be a terrible idea for them to do that. Photo likes lie you said not a big deal. Hiding followers I feel would hurt instagram and also a lot of people running a business on instagram. But what do i know :anyway:
