Why is Instagram so convinced that I am a bot

[BlackP]

I haven't employed any third-party applications, autolikers, or commenters at all! Whenever I attempt to leave a comment on Instagram, I'm prompted to verify my human identity. I refrain from engaging in spam-like or comment activities, yet I find it perplexing.

To compound the issue, I suspect this might be the cause of Instagram restricting the visibility of my posts to only 10-20 people. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? It's puzzling why Instagram would penalize me as if I were a bot when I'm not.

Typically, newly created accounts will undergo this process. Alternatively, you have the option to acquire an older account.

Your presence here, expressing this, assures me that you're not a bot—just as I am not a fish. Consider accessing your Instagram account from an alternative device and a different internet connection; perhaps there's an issue with your IP.

This is precisely the type of inquiry a bot might pose! In reality, however, bots understand the typical behavior of millions of users. These users casually browse pages while awaiting their coffee and aren't constantly connected to a data center IP 24/7. Just be yourself.

Simply be authentic in your posts; avoid spamming, excessive links, or too many likes, follows, and unfollows.

I attempted that approach and had a negative experience, haha. Instagram has significantly enhanced its ability to detect purchased or sold accounts, so exercise caution if you choose to go down that path.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that, and I'm not engaging in any such behavior. That's why I'm puzzled as to why Instagram perceives me as a bot.

I believe this could be the problem. While I've never been banned on Instagram before, I have admittedly violated the rules a few times. Should I use a VPN to change my IP address? I recall there being a method to reset the router to change the IP address.
