Why can you use cheap datacenter proxies for scraping but not for automating+posting on IG? Using anything less than mobile proxies for automating+posting seems to get all pages banned quick. Why not with scrapers too?

I think that because IG goes little bit easy on Scraper considering it as scrolling down,

Is not like posting, as I know Instagram is serious about posting, and the best number is 3 time post per day

They don't mind scraping but for like and follows they need to make sure you're a real user

Nowadays, there are too many bots, including all the SMM-panels. To understand it, simply follow some OF-models or crypto pages and keep an eye on your DM - they will be there shortly .

most datacenter IPs have already been detected and blocked by the websites so youd be using an IP thats already been detected. Id say give mobile or residential a try because theyre a lot less likely to be detected and blocked

Datacenter proxies are cost-effective and work well for scraping because they don't mimic real user behavior. Platforms like Instagram typically don’t heavily scrutinize scraping activities, but automation and posting involve actions that are closely monitored for authenticity.
