Can Instagram / BIG BRO do something about the annoying spam accounts that follow us?
Because they arenāt āinactiveā are they?
They are liking my content, following me, and then commenting – because now the only way people can even comment on my public profile is if you follow me.
Iāve had to get that strict with my public account about these fake spam promotion accounts that now my public profile isnāt even available for public commenting. š¤¬
Annoying.
But that doesnāt stop the problem, it seems now it makes it worse? š¤
And my real followers are very quiet, so I likely wouldnāt even show up in the explore feed.
I did one thing yesterday and got overloaded with a bunch of promotion spam accounts that followed me, liked a bunch of my content, and commented.
Toxic as fuck.
I simply followed OnlyFans on Instagram.
Thatās it. I didnāt like any of their content, I did not tag them in any kind of post, or comment, I did not share any of their content on my profile. I simply followed them.
And within five seconds a bunch of spam accounts showed up and made my profile active and maybe now itāll show up in the explore feed but I know Iāve got to go in there and weed them all out now, right? š¤
Or, do I report them one by one and see if Instagram will actually do their fucking job?
Thatās probably likely what I will do but itās going to take an annoying amount of time and I actually have to work today and tomorrow.
So Iām busy.

Iām too busy to babysit my fucking Instagram of all the spam accounts that keep annoying me.
Does anybody else deal with this problem? How do you manage it?
The annoying, UNWANTED spam paid promotion accounts?
Cuz Iām at my wits end dealing with Instagram.
FYI: I donāt buy followers – the people who do follow me do so mostly in secret which is why you never see my numbers really change or grow (despite the glaring growth via my blog).
I donāt buy likes which is also why you never see my numbers really change.
Most of them just want to drown me on the bottom of the fucking Titanic.
I donāt use third party apps for my accounts either.
For the most part I follow the TOS rules but I still get in trouble. š
Itās bad enough Iāve been shadowbanned and I have to deal with these annoying promotion accounts all the time and it isnāt just when I follow someone on Instagram. Sometimes I donāt have to do anything at all but wake the fuck up.
Social media is toxic.
I try not to be toxic.
Transparent but not toxic.
Truthful and emo because I wear my heart on my sleeve.
It would be cool if I could find an account that actually wanted me to be a real ambassador or something (because letās face it, most of those ambassador accounts are just spam accounts too), most of the shit that I come in contact with is just spam, itās just spam, more spam collecting in my fucking life!!!
Add it to the Spectrum mailing offers that never cease despite a direct order by me to do so! Via phone, email, written, etcetera!
Iām seriously about to go Russell Crowe Unhinged on Spectrum.
You feel me?
Iām sick to fuck of spam clogging up my life!!!!
Anyhoo, itās not even 8 AM and Iām already venting.
Life is exhausting.
I need a gig soon.
They seem to come in droves and then stop. Block em and report them. I know itās a pain, but thatās the best I can offer.

Droves is exactly right! I was swarmed! I think Iāll report them as spam accounts and see if Instagram will remove them (as opposed to just blocking). Thanks for the advice! Gonna have to put droves to use in a poem! šŖ

Well, if a poem comes from all of this, then at least some good will have come from it. š
