I know, I’ve reported loads because there are loads, but they haven’t been deleted. Is Instagram in cahoots with these bozos?
I think they have to check them first and they will do it only if they get reported over a certain threshold (is my guess). I mean it
bleeping hard to get incels and niceguys accounts deleted that harass people with threats and d*ckpics.
On one hand I find it good, because otherwise someone could mark for example my account as spam, and Insta would delete it immediately. That would really suck. And not every account with not profile pic and no post is a spam account, some like it anonymous. When I was marking them I was looking for the obvious, no profile pic, odd naming, and an odd following.
But it would be better you could mark the account that buys followers and Insta could have a look into their followers and stats and give them warnings (plus remove all the spam accounts). Maybe you have to write an email? As I said somewhere earlier, the best would be, to have the advertisers in your boat.
It's like with the ASA violations they know they can do it with no repercussions or at least they take the risk that one day the ASA or Insta or YT will be more consequential.
