Its the same thing I asked about here:

Some good discussion to read there too. some people there had some insights...
I dont know what to believe yet. But i know a lot of bot makers/sellers are really sweating and desperate if this is true and would lie as hell to protect their business as long as possible when the ship sinks. And I know "a lot of long-time botters think were still safe" doesnt mean shit because they are just users who think they are immortal just because thyeh had success for a long time and think they are pros with "perfect setings and setups".... they know NOTHING about what is really on instagrams server code and how it is evolving....
But I cant ignore the proof. Instagram hates spam.... and would have a reason to do this. There are many threads here now of people getting weird "fucky" limits from insta now. follow/unfollow/like blocks etc...... and many report very big drops of engagement (shadowbans???)
AI is the future and everyone is doing it now. why not facebook? the biggest social media i nthe world
Even bedroom youtuber guys are making AIs that are able to play games perfectly:
And example of some random guy on youtube who made AI to detect spam with 98.56% accuracy:
And Google has AI that can look at an image and guess what is in it (try uploading an image to google image search and it will say stuff like "girl portrait" or "car" etc automatically)....
And microsoft has the "zo" chat bot which is very human (you can chat to it on facebook).....
So all these kids make AIs in their bedroom that do amazing things above...
...... so Imagine Facebook putting a few million dollars to a good team to build some modern AI to detect spam behaviors. How can we beat that?? it would know that mass-like and mass-follow is spam and we cant do shit about that.......
Maybe today in the dawn of 2018 is finaly that day?
