I’ve heard that Instagram recently updated its anti-spam systems and that this could affect accounts that have fake or bot followers. I’m trying to understand how these changes actually impact me, especially if I’ve ever used follower-boosting tactics or bought followers in the past.
Specifically, what do the new Instagram spam filters do? Why would they make fake followers more of a risk than before? Is there a chance that my account could get flagged, lose followers, or even face penalties because of these new filters? I want to get clear, practical insight into what Instagram’s new systems are doing behind the scenes and how this affects accounts with inauthentic followers.
