Instagram calling out bot users/spammers on the app

Hello guys,

Making this thread because I've never seem this discussed before but I have already come across this message twice, I'm attaching a screenshot from it and I removed the private and sensitive information from it.

So I've noticed this message already twice once I check the account of someone who does massive followings (MP, FollowLike, etc) I first saw this message a couple of weeks ago also on the profile of an account that clearly was using a bot to follow and unfollow.

Anyone seen this before?

What do you think causes it, the follows? Or maybe the result that people who do a lot of "follows" also end up being blocked a number of times and flagged like Spam?

Discuss bellow

Seems the admins are getting smarter these days and the blackhat ways will soon have to evolve.

Since I don't see this being talked too much I wonder if they are beta testing it and I happen to be on the Beta. Also keep in mind I can only see this message from the account that I was followed. When I check the account with the Spam banner from a different account their profile looks normal

Interesting. I haven't come across one of these yet but I would assume high volumes of likes, follows, and unfollows is how they are tracking it.

Its not new, from I've read in the forums, this warning has been around for 2 years.
