Sometime around April 2015, I created the Instagram account called One of the cliché pieces of advice you get when you start an account is to have a theme, and for the purpose of this experiment I wanted to be as cliché as possible. I think it’s dishonest, and below I’m going to lay out my argument for why Instagress and other bot programs like it are the worst thing to ever happen to Instagram. ![]() On one side of this debate you have people like me, who think botting is a way to cheat the Instagram platform, and on the other side you have the botters themselves, who shamelessly use automated software to boost their accounts. It’s as simple as “I’ll scratch your back and then maybe you’ll scratch mine,” except with the help of Instagress, you’re able to scratch a humanly impossible number of backs and, in turn, reap the likes, comments, and follows. In days, Instagress will have already liked thousands of photos and videos on your behalf, and some of these Instagrammers that you’ve given some love to will swing by your account and show you some love, too. As the site states, “it’s like creating a small robot clone of yourself with the same interests and style, and then letting it work for you on Instagram.”Ĭreepy wording aside, that’s a really nice way of saying that this software will send your account on a liking and commenting rampage, even while you’re asleep. It’s a powerful piece of software that is always evolving, but at the heart of it, you tell Instagress what keywords you want it to like or comment on, and it will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until you stop paying for the service. So how do small businesses, up and coming celebrities, and new brands compete? Yes, you could hire a team of interns, or spend every waking hour on Instagram (which many people do), but we knew there had to be an easier way.įor them and many others, the easier way to become Instagram famous - rather than doing “a ton of manual work” - is to use Instagress. ![]() That’s because amassing a huge number of Instagram followers takes a ton of manual work. If you’ve ever wondered how certain businesses and celebrities have millions of followers on social media, you may be surprised to find out that they have entire social media teams dedicated to managing their accounts. This is how the folks at Instagress pitch their services: For this experiment, I used a popular bot called Instagress, which I’ll explain in more detail soon.
