So I was wondering is it only me or everyone else who is getting less follow back ratio. Only around 15% people I follow actually follows back.

Is it way too low?

I am scraping user's followers, and the account has over 7 million followers.

Please share yours so we can see the difference.

50-60%

I'd take a guess that your photos aren't HQ enough or the blogs you're following aren't targeted enough

one of my account is in Sports niche and I get good engagement in posts with over 300 likes and around 30-50 comments per pic, so I believe the content I post are engaging. Maybe its the account I scrape from but the account is one of the leading in my niche...

Perhaps, FL following a lot of inactive users?
 
Try scraping from some of the newer blogs in your niche. Might help

How many likes you get says nothing about your engagement, if you don't state your follower count as well.
And it's not FL who is following a lot of inactive users...it's you. You set up the bot. ;)

My follow back ratio is pretty similar to euphorix. It's around 45-55%.

Try scraping newer blogs
try scraping only top result from your "leading account in your niche"
and use the filters. They are there for a reason.

Guys sorry for this but I am confused.. which filters are you talking about
 
I get somewhere between 5%-30% follows back depending on the quality of the account feed.

Maybe it's me using the wrong setup... Btw do you do FLC?

Make sure you follow followers of an account that has great engagement, if that account has 7 million followers but only 4k followers per photo... they wouldn't really be interested in following your content.
 
the account your following could possibly have fake followers
once i targeted lululemon, and got horrible results after 7 days

when i follow by hash tag i get about 50-75% follow back ratio
if i follow 900 i get about 450-500 followers in a day by hashtag using top results only

That's good, do you follow the people who posted the picture? or you follow the people who liked the picture?
 
I get about 30-70% depending on niche.

You shouldn't scrape from an account that has 7m followers, that's just a huge no.
Instead target multiple smaller accounts, (under 100k is better)

This.
or scrape from a recent picture if it fits your niche.

And yes I do FLC for some accounts. but not every niche is good for flc.
From my experience there are very few niches that work good with flc. mostly creator niches.
