Frustrated with reviving a dead account

I'm having so much trouble trying to revive this dead account. It's too larger for me to remove all the ghost followers of my 65k followers.


Has anyone tried a DM method? I wish bots weren't being cracked down so harshly. I feel like if I mass DMed all my followers the ghost ones will drop.

What are some other tips for LARGE accounts.

Content, consistency, hashtags.
