IG detects DM Like/Com Groups and hinders accounts?

As we all probably know by now, these are great ways to grow.

Ive heard from someone that IG can detect these organized groups and affects the accounts who participate in them negatively. I've never heard this anywhere else except from this guy who claims to have a friend that works for IG who told him that.

Anybody have any idea if that's actually true?

He was claiming it helps to have 3rd party links from sites/apps to your ig which will help your acc more in the long run. Anyone have any idea if its true or is this all crap?

I think your friend is trolling you

your friend works for IG, that's a troll like kids saying my dad works for Microsoft and he's gonna ban your account your getting trolled very well. hats off to him.

Yes. They have a group detector unit in their rows. Watch out guys.
