"You’re already tricking Instagram with user agent that you’re using Phones".
Hmmm... only if tricking Instagram was that easy nowadays.
I don't know about others, but till last year I was also Managing Clients for IG Growth, But with all those PVs and EVs in 2019 end,
I just couldn't risk my Client's accounts anymore. And decided to build my own bot (as I was already quite a good programmer, had won many Coding competitions during my University.) to solve these PV EV issues for Important Quality Client accounts.
Regarding my bot. Let me make a few things clear.
>>>>>> "It is not for mass Spamming".
Forget IG, I'll ban that user from using my bot much earlier if they just recklessly mass spam the platform using my NecroBot.
Because now IG uses AI to tackle spam/reports. And bots follow similar workflows for all the users of that bot. So, If some users are regularly abusing the bot and getting Blocks/Bans. Then that whole workflow get's kinda flagged. And anyone new who uses that bot, is already kinda soft flagged from the start.
That's why you might hear everyone talking about, how private bots are working great. News Flash! they have their own workflow (how they are programmed/operate) which has not been previously abused by spammers.
>>>>>> "Till now, not a single user has got even a single PV or EV" (Thanks to my Custom Human-Emulation Workflows)
(And every single one of them is overjoyed by this)
And Experienced Users already know how much of a pain/headache managing these could be. When every day you wake up to some of your accounts asking PV/EV or got disabled, etc.
This is very crucial when managing Important Client accounts. As you don't want your client's accounts getting EV/PV/banned, that'll ruin your whole business.
(And this my dear, is KINDA PRICELESS NOWADAYS if you're doing the math counting Pennies and flashing numbers around)
And coming to the management cost.
(This'll vary from person to person, and country to country, so I'll give the example for the cost for me and my location).
Example cost, for managing 100 Clients accounts
You can manage 5 accounts on 1 phone. (so, 20 phones)
1 Time cost:
1 decent used phone price: 50$
(20*50= 1000)
Monthly cost
4g sim data pack 1.67$ (In my country 5$ for 3 months data pack (5/3=1.67))
(1.67*20 = 33.4)
(If using my bot for this, then add £4.9 or $6.64 per account)
(664)
Electricity costs will be negligible (something like 0.024$ per month for 1 phone)

(Extras :
if not having a PC at home. (which I think everyone has, that's why putting this in extras)
1 cheap used windows PC price: 120$ )
AND HOW MUCH DO WE EARN FROM THIS?
When I was managing clients a couple of years back, things were pretty cheap (even datacenter proxies were doing fine),
So, I had active clients with 400$, 200$ package to as low as 60$ in some cases.
But, in today's date, I wouldn't take any client below 100$ in even the lowest package, as mobile proxies soar up the costs a lot.
so for 100 clients, in the LOWEST package, MONTHLY EARNING would be 100$*100 = 10,000$
And the monthly cost for the same would be
$1.67*20 = $33.4 (monthly data cost)
6.64*100 = $664 (If using my NecroMancer IG bot)
total rounded monthly cost (to include negligible electricity costs, etc): 700$
(And if you are looking at it practically, no one is getting 100 clients with a snap of the finger, they'll have some 5/10 clients in the starting and will get more clients slowly-slowly in the future,
So, they could just get started by using 1 or 2 phones lying in their house (which everyone has in most cases) with 0 initial costs
and could scale further as they are already making a lot in return to take care of it.
But just for the maths-sake of some people, the total initial 1-time phones puchase cost for running 100 accounts: 50$*20 = 1000$.
)
And still, if for the namesake I do the same maths for using other API bots on VPS with 4g proxies for 100 accounts.
It's not safe to automate more than 5 accounts on 1 4g proxy, so, 20 4g proxies.
bot monthly cost + server monthly cost roughly 100$ a month.
cost of inexpensve 4g proxy: 40$ a month, total: 40*20 = 800$ a month.
i.e. total monthly costs: 900$ a month
Plus not to mention all the HEADACHE of PV/EV/bans. (which is mainly the current biggest issue nowadays of automation)

(Wait! Wasn't someone just now preaching how costly it's to automate on real devices and not worth it??
Oh!, lemme guess, they sell 4g Proxies? )
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
PS:::::::::
I think everyone should do their own maths for their condition and needs. And test the waters for themselves.
And not just believe me or whatever anyone else preaches on the internet as facts,
instead, just take that as their opinions to help with your decisions.
