IG Post removed, reach dropped experiences

I run a IG Repost Account with about 70k real followers and i have some feedback i want to share with the community.

Stats for my main account.
Management: 100% Handmade, i do not use tools anymore.
Followers: 70k
Reach in a week: 1kk
Posts in 24h: 3-6 (60% Pics / 40% Videos)

Removed Content

In more than 2 years i got 4 posts removed because of IG violations. (No copyright claims)
2 violations were justified, the other two did not, but they were removed anyway.

After my posts got removed I have posted further but my explore reach of new posts dropped to about 10%.
From about 100.000 to 10.000 per post. (Video), the content was the same.


The strange thing is, that I had this problem with all 4 accounts i used on my smartphone.

At this accounts never a post got removed, they were completely clean.

Looks like IG aso penalize the other accounts, does someone has similar experiences?

Change the phone . This is the way IG linked it

When your page grows bigger then engagement starts to drop off, its quite normal. But you can remove ghost followers from your account & you will see increase in your engagement

Actually I know exactly what happened. When IG removes your post for any reason, your account gets a 2 week shadowban. Your posts will not show up in hashtags for 14 days and only some of your followers will be able to see the new content you post. There is no way to get rid of a shadowban and you will just have to wait it out.

Do you use the same phone with the same IP for your accounts?
Probably they were linked to each other. Once you get a "punishment" from IG they will punish all of your accounts (if linked). Not just 1.
Keep in mind that those actions like overuse #hashtags can lead to shadowban too.

The best thing that you can do right now is to Remove "ghost" followers

sbenderschii is right! That's the real problem of getting PV, the 14 days shadowban that kills your engagement.
