If you know that one of your competitors uses botting (and in fact, offers it as a servive), is there a way of finding what kind of child accounts they own? I've managed it for others manually, but one person I just don't understand. She even has people that follow that are following only 20 other people and none of them look like theme pages...

If they're using the child account method it should be pretty easy to spot who's funneling followers to their page.

Search up the @ name for some similar accounts. They usually have something obvious on the account that shows ze funnel.
Hmm, how? I can't seem to be able to figure it out for one person.
I dont know if I'm missing something here (well, I know I am), but I don't get it. What am I searching - which username?

He meant to say that, search for similar names on IG and you will find some of those accounts
Oh similar to the child account names? The thing was that I couldn't find a child account for their parent account. I finally managed to figure it out and they are essentially using normal names and they look like "'normal" accounts with a few photos, as opposed to theme pages. So at least most of their child accounts have completely different names, actually!
