Go manual or automation?

Hi all,

So I only have 1 account I need to do engagement services on. Its my business account, and I want to start liking pictures of my direct competitor its followers (~8k) My competitor, however, has blocked me. So I can’t really do that without a lot of hassle. In order to save me that hassle and time, I want to:

1. Use a manual service, someone making a (regularly) updated list of their followers, then engage with them from my account

or

2. Use an automation bot for likes only

Which one would you go for and why? I have been action blocked before a few times through FollowLiker. Thats been 5-6 months ago though.

Thanks in advance all!

If you have only one account, you can hire a freelancer.

I think automation bot is a good choice

Thanks for your replies. What bot is currently still safe and working? And what should I expect to pay if I go for a freelancer? Im from Europe so wouldnt a login from US be more suspicious? I think some bots work on your own IP and behave like a mobile phone right?

I would try to stay away from bots and instead find a manual growth provider that is able to do the things you wanna do.

I've looked on here to find a manual growth provider, but only stumble across one with positive reviews, and they're quite expensive for what I need, Ascend Viral at ($199).
Does anyone know of any others on here with a good reputation?

For single account , it would be best to use manual option because when you interact with someone on your IG page they are more likely to engage with posts as well so its like creating a community but with automation you can't have that as well as automation is going to affect your account as well.

Is it your main account? Then manual, no questions asked.
