Hi everyone,

In the past, I used automation tools for auto-likes and story viewing until they began causing bans. I stopped using them to keep my account safe. However, I've since lost almost 20k followers. My content is good, but it's not "clickbait" enough to keep my account growing. I still gain followers, but I lose more than I gain. The type of clickbait content that works nowadays doesn't fit my personal brand, so I don't want to change my content style.

I'm looking for other growth methods that still work. I saw an article about using Sharingtools in combination with HikerAPI, but then I read here that people say it's a scam and doesn't work. Same goes for JarveePro. Is there anything out there that still works? I'm just looking for a tool for one account. I read a lot about methods for people managing hundreds of accounts, but this is not what I need. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

No Automation Tool is safe anymore. Hire a VA or a Service insead or do it Manually.

There are plenty of them hidden ones that do work, but they're not marketing themselves like crazy like the others, because they're better off that way. And coming to your strategy for your situation, I think Mother-child growth sort of growth strategy would work the best for you.

Totally get where you’re coming from. Growing without resorting to clickbait is harder, but still doable. Instead of automation, try focusing on strong reel hooks, collabs with similar accounts, and posting during peak engagement hours. Tools like Hypefury or Later (for scheduling and insights) might help without risking your account. Also, engaging with niche communities manually still works well for steady growth.
 
Automation doesn't work as it used to. You can hire someone to do mother child method that keeps your main account untouched and safe from bans.

You're doing the right thing by avoiding risky tools. Try focusing on Reels, manual engagement, and collabs they still work in 2025. Most tools like Sharingtools or HikerAPI are risky or useless now, especially for just one account. Keep your content consistent and growth will come

If you’re aiming for organic growth without clickbait or managing tons of accounts, your best move is semi-manual automation with smart targeting, like story views, follows, or DMs that mimic human patterns. Look for a low-key tool that supports randomized delays, human-like behavior, and doesn’t blast actions at scale. One key factor: avoid recycled IPs. Using a dedicated 4G mobile proxy just for that one account drastically reduces ban risk and keeps your setup looking legit to Instagram.

I am able to crete the human-like script. It was used to follow, like. But now we use it for the ai video generation. Then post them automatically, just a few like and follow. Safe and still have good views. The marketing become easier in fact. No need to play the cat and mouse game as before.

Thank you for the advice! Any suggestions for tools? That's where I hit a wall. There is so many, also many that don't work anymore.
