General questions on improving engagement?

In your opinion, what methods do you like and dont like? and why?

personally, I find liking and commenting to be... somewhat effective, could be better but its more than i would get without.

what about the follow/ unfollow method? I heard that you should not depend on this when you hit a certain number - for obvious reasons, but also because it damages your reach. true?

also for those wondering/ if anyone remembers when I posted thread/s about Jarvee not working, its now working for likes, comments and follow/unfollow (though this is turned off as the like feature got blocked last night but so far all day its been working which is my new record of the like action working without getting banned/ blocked. dont wanna get my hopes up, but am happy the past several hours).

Commenting isn't really worth it. You get so much responses to deal with without much better results because you can only comment about what..200 a day max? And then you will get people responding to your comment several months later lmao. F/UF is the best simply because it is the most likely to be seen and people are much more likely to check you out. I think its not effective today because EVERYONE checks who unfollows them these days, especially people who have less than 1k followers.
