I recommend instafollowers because their service is usually fast but very efficient and their customer service is reliable offering you an expedited delivery in slow delivery case days or in the event where you purchase real content and you shall lose a like or follower instafollowers customer service is fast acting

“Just a scam”

So I get a notification that I posted spam via IG. I'm no influencer or celebrity, not on their a lot but, have spam lol. So then they say you can ask for a review but, of course you can't get in because they have disabled the account and requesting the code via cell phone doesn't work. You request it and nothing. Same thing if you go directly to the "oversight board". Basically they really want this outlet for people who don't work and use this for hundreds or thousands of followers. Good part if I need to go on there, I have another account lol...guess yall can't control everything.

I hate the fact that you can only use it haveing a mobile or tablet. I think it is a great idea but I will start using it once they allow desktop users as well.

A few years ago, I would've said IG was TOLERABLE even with the quirks (see my previous review). I have no issue with the content as I simply follow what I want, and control what I could see. However, IG slowly progressed to a bug-infested, glitch-infested platform where everything has became ads.

I have no social media addiction but I run an IG account where I use it for my business in the creative field. I never thought this would happen to me hence why I never knew how others felt, but IG disabled my account for no reason. After following their process to retrieve my account, they told me that I violated their community guidelines but I did no such thing.

It's been weeks since I filed out tons of forms and submitted ridiculously humiliating pics of myself holding up a hand-written code which I done at least 5 times and still haven't gotten my account back. I've noticed SO MANY other people complained about the same problem on Reddit and many people either got their accounts back after 9 MONTHS (yes, months) or haven't gotten the account back at all!

I'm so frustrated and angry as I do collaborative work and now, I've lost traction and exposure because these businesses cannot tag me on IG and I lost a lot of contacts and pages I followed. I also lost all my followers I worked hard for the past decade.

IG has NO customer support so don't even bother if you lost your account. They run a platform with at least a billion of user accounts and they have no reason to care if people lost access to their data.

Tip for consumers:
Their bots are out of control. I understand if they just flag offensive content and hide it publicly so no one sees it, but banning accounts especially for NO REASON is unacceptable. Many people cannot access their account lately due to a birthday popup glitch or simply because IG's bot falsely banned them. There's no certain way to avoid getting disabled but it's better to avoid engaging in any comments or posts becasue you never know if you're next!

Instagram was a great platform back in the day when it first came out. I'm not going to judge the website for content, because content is always up to people. And frankly, the Discover section is incredibly lame. It's always just stupid images, videos, celebrities and girls who can't keep their butts tucked in or clothes on.

Also, the spam is ridiculous and hacking is rampage. How it happens? I don't know. But someone on my followers list had their account broken into and then spammed everyone with porn. Next, I was supposedly "following" fake accounts I NEVER authorized nor followed, and they're all advertising free sex and naked women.

The Instagram Stories option is a waste of space, looks ridiculous, an entire rip-off from Snapchat and adds no important value. Sure, I could simply not click on it and it's out of sight, but I believe it's a stupid option that isn't what Instagram was made for. Bottom line, if you're a teenager, or someone in their 20s, Instagram is for you. Although, I must say that Instagram doesn't really control their content and have trouble keeping up with removing fake accounts.

If you're paying Instagram a ton of money OR if you're a celebrity, Instagram won't hesitate to help you. If you hate a comment, it gets deleted. If someone makes a fake account of you, it's deleted. If someone posts hateful comments or images of you, it's deleted. If someone posts embarrassing content of you, it's deleted. But, if you're an average user, and God forbid these things happen to you, Instagram couldn't care less.

With today's growing technology the idea of sharing ideas and thoughts through images has developed in some pretty creative ways. Photos can now be enhanced, unenhanced, edited, cropped, distorted… the list goes on. An individual doesn't even need to know the rhyme or reason to making a photo "sepia" besides clicking a button to makes the color hues do so on any particular photo. Making your photos seem as you wish doesn't require much effort at all anymore.
Instagram is an extremely effective app that can easily be downloaded for free! The instructions are almost unnecessary because the app is so easy to use and brose through. The app has recently been downloadable to smart phones other than Mac products, which is very attractive. The only issue is that there is not much variety. There are a mere eighteen effects that can be applied to a photo. Granted these effects look magnificent on almost every photo, but people can easily get bored with eighteen options and want new and innovative pictures.
I personally love the instagram app and use it all the time. I would never be able to manually alter the colors and shadows of a picture to make it look as different and inspiring that instrgram does by just a tap of a button. I also like that you are able to compare two different effects very easily by taping between one and the other. I would recommend this app to almost anyone!

Instagram loves to put up reel that get people inflamed, they do not allow you to voice your thoughts on these inflammatory videos. The moment you voice your thoughts in opposition to Instagram they shut your account down. Suppressing my first amendment makes me very motivated to use my 2nd Amendment, Instagram is a tool by the government, the government is the enemy of the people. They are but a few we are the many let's roll over these impediments to freedom. Do not use or support this PROPOGANDA PLATFORM. RISE UP AND DEFANG THESE COMPANYS. THEY TOO ARE OUR ENEMY

Nothing super crazy, that we don't already know. IG is flaut and, at best, intimidating. It does nothing for its customers, except making them inadequat feeling citizens of the cyberworld. NO SERVICE, no support, big attitude, lots of bullying and abuse on their site, lost of suicide cases due on their outfit, SHAME ON $#*!ING THEM

OK, I got to be fair.
There are millions of, let's call them Kids (to avoid some sexual discrimination ban) who want to show themselves off, or the food they eat, or the cloth they wear, or the... whatever and, for them, Instagram is the perfect show off tool.

For me?

I can't stand AII (yes, that's 2 'I' instead of only one but you are smart enough to figure what the second 'I' stands for).

I tried to post a "Free Food Tasting" event and was instantly 'BANNED" by Instagram's AI algorithm... whatever, telling me I went against their community guidelines by posting anything graphic violence, sexual activity and hate speech.

Really? Posting a free food tasting event is considered THAT?

Don't you just LOVE artificial intelligent idiocy? You gotta love it.

The I complaint 3 times.

Then Instagram changed their mind. Now they tell I posted the same too many times.

I got 7,... that's S E V E N posts on my f88king Instagram account and not one post is about a free food tasting, NOT 1!

So, Instagram, go and Fu8k yourself!

No, I don't post a photo publicly so other 888 can fu8k with me. Anyone interested to see some proof, just contact me and I will provide proof.

As a new driver who is desperate to not pay ridiculous prices for insurance, I was unfortunately scammed by this insurance broker.

This insurance broker is a scam. I found him on an instagram ad and dm'ed him and he ran a car insurance quote for me. It came out ridiculously cheap and I was suspicious about it. He didn't include any links or show information on the quote, just some random images that show cheaper quotes. He then said that he charges a £250 admin fee and if I want this quote then to be quick as the quote expires in 3 days. Kinda funky as he's well desperate for his money which was a red flag for me. I ignored him and he kept spamming my dms saying that the offer is expiring and he will lower his price to £200.

I asked him if he put all my correct information and he assured me that he did. He specified he put 7000 miles and my second driver aswell. When he gave me the login to the quote, it had all the wrong information like 3000 miles, my second driver as my spouse, 9+cars and MOST IMPORTANTLY HE PUT 10+ years of NCD. All this information is FALSE and he completely disregarded my information so that he can bump down the price to show the lowest price. This is a huge scammer and please do not pay him anything!

I tried to contact him again but he's ignoring my dms. He was so friendly before I bought anything and he is now hostile.

Where do I even begin. Doomscrolling? The Addiction? The Bots? The Toxicity? Everyone knows by now that social media hijacks your brain by giving you a dopamine hit every time you get a like, comment or friend request, that is how they keep people coming back and how they make money. So basically Instagram is like drugs. Instead of meeting and interacting with people IRL you can pretend to be friends with a bunch of people you don't know. Every single one of those people is posting a carefully curated selection of photos to convince you they are rich, successful and beautiful and their life is like a movie. It makes me want to puke. So now everyone has become slaves to their phone, where they can have a digital alter ego of the person they want everyone to think they are.

If you are a business trying to grow it's basically impossible at this point. The site is oversaturated and there are too many people on the site and the algorithm keeps changing. I've been posting for a month and just getting above 80 real followers is basically impossible. Unless you are a huge corporation who can afford to pay them insane amounts of money you're not going to get results. Don't waste your time, the cool factor is long dead. By deleting your account you are much much cooler - and free.

I was standing at the edge of the pond. Dim streelight reflecting off my face. My heartbeat constantly reminding me that I was still stuck in reality. With each second my mind was ready to drift off. Then someone came from behind. It was my old childhood friend. He offered me to stay at his house for a few days considering everything that has happened.While arriving there he reassured me that everything will be fine. Just when I was starting to feel better about myself, my eye caught Something I shouldn't have seen. On his phone there was was a conglomerate of vivid colors with a Plain white camera icon over it. It was Instagram. At that moment I lost it
My heart beat fastened
Blood rushed to my head
A fervent Rush of hatred began cooking inside my heart
In second I lashed out at my friend, I grabbed his tender neck and starter choking him.
The tussle and struggel
But with no avail
A few minutes later be came unconscious.
I stayed like that with my hands grappling his neck for a few more minutes to make sure he's dead.
Without saying a word I put on my hat and tale my leave
Drfting off into the darkness as If nothing happened.
