Alright guys this is gonna be a long and complicated one and probably a mess.
I’ve probably been banned more than any of you I’ve had maybe 100 accounts and fighting meta for years now but I’ve learned a lot. I think I finally have an account I can keep and not get banned because, I found a few tricks that insta will never tell you. you just have to figure them out on your own to avoid being banned from violations in the first place. (In order for these to work your account needs to be established first) which means not being banned for integrity or bot behavior which is a huge obstacle itself. I barely know how I did that.
But it seems you need to let the account sit for roughly a week or two. Then start consistently posting everyday until you get your monetization green check (usually 2-3 weeks before it turns green, requesting appeal does nothing). You can also instantly get monetization by linking a Facebook but it needs to be an older Facebook or it seems you get banned anyway because a new Facebook must also be suspicious.
So I need to go back in time to make all of this make since. I originally had 1 phone with my actual account, actual name, personal use.
Another phone I had an account where I posted vids for money/ motivational purposes. It got banned from people simply spam reporting for no reason and sometimes trying to extort me or something. I got the account back a few times with appeals got like 50k followers. Banned completely and they wanted ID I gave it to them and got banned permanently. They also banned my main account. I gave the same ID and they gave that same (personal account back). This is important to note because I’ve had it ever since which has been like 3 years since the ban but i made it years before that.
Anyways I was like well F*** Meta im making a new account and I would get banned again and again. Sometimes instantly sometimes a month later but never really longer than that. It’s only gotten worse with time. I originally would get posts taken down for nothing. Meanwhile I report larger posts that post the same content jus to test it and it immediately tells you “sorry this doesn’t go against guidelines” but I posted the EXACT video mine would get taken down the same day. But I was determined to figure it out. But it only makes sense they have never gotten banned yet somehow. And have more trusted Instagram account. Which must be achievable. Anyways I lost countless accounts trying the same thing every times. Buying a new phone monthly. Make a new account. Then I’m hit with integrity ban. Or your accounts are linked with other banned instagrams. I never used the same info like email, phone number, or even phone. But I will say a lot of the time completely resetting your phone will work to make a new account. I don’t think it’s actually tied to that unless you make like + instas after resetting your phone with new Apple ID in recent time.
So through all that time I would just hope to quickly go viral , I got an account to 100k followers quickly. Within a month. Got banned again permanently.
I never give up. Thought of everything. I thought the only possible way they are tracking me is IP address. So I made a new account on new phone. Never touched my own WiFi without a VPN. Made the account. Let it sit for a week. Started posting and everything has been fine. When I get violations I only appeal one every day and I’m completely fine. It asked for ID eventually but only to send DMs not threatening to delete my whole account. Which has never happened. I risked it and have them ID on the DM prompt and to my surprise my account was fixed. So I found the solution… right????
NO. I did this same method on another phone for another Instagram, And both that one and another one without vpn were both banned the same day (THIS IS THE PHOTO I POSTED) the left to are the No VPN account. And the 2nd VPN using account. The very right accounts is my still active and working VPN using account but I’m wondering now if that had anything to do with it at all. And my original personal account(with my name and personal posts) has still never faced any problems throughout all of this. It is also fine. Which makes IP not make much sense. I have a lot of good info if you guys have questions but I also need help. I’m theorizing I maybe am posting the same pics or videos on the accounts and maybe that’s flagging them to be integrity banned or linked. But if you have any ideas or experience that can help lmk.
