I'm sorry I don't think this is a cool product - I find this type of automation completely irritating and pointless for account owners preferring legitimate engagement.

@helencrozier Hey Helen, I respect your point of view. But actually Boostfy gives you the technology, it's up to you how to use it. We have some brands who use our product only to run campaigns via hashtags or distribute promo codes. According to our experience, it helps on building relationships with customers. But of course, you may just not be our customer segment, I totally understand that :)

@kaanayaz_ how does automating likes "build relationships"? Is this allowed by Instagram's TOS?
@helencrozier I noticed the same things on my personal account. But the clients have asked for this and instead of having a team of interns do this, Boostfy can!
@needalimb @helencrozier Neither technique (interns or bots) is a good way to build "relationships". There is no long term short cut to connection. Plus, it's WAY obvious when someone is using a tool like this, and my first opinion of those who do use it is very negative. You won't win me as a customer this way.
@writerpollock Hey Tristan, thanks for your interest. I'd like to tell you what features will we add in the near future or what sets Boostfy apart from the competition. Would you mind sending me an email? (bugra@boostfy.co)
Cool product (though as a user of instagram I'm annoyed by the obvious spam likes of my photos and would never follow back). Are you worried about cease & desist from instagram? Or not so much because you're not from the US?
The unfortunate story here is that it probably works regardless of how annoying it is.
Is this for real? Not only does this violate terms, but you just ripped off another platform which I won't name.
@huangdun Ahaha that made me laugh so hard :) Currently you can use minimum like and minimum followers filters to assume that the content quality is high. Also, as I mentioned in other comments we are working on an alpha product that we didn't mention on our website which uses image and video recognition to understand to avoid liking inappropriate posts. Feel free to send an email to bugra@boostfy.co for more details and maybe a demo.
@kostgx Hey Kostas, we are in open beta right now. We aim to build a strong community with creators from all around the world instead of building successful software products. However we know about tech, we will be using it :) You can read our blog post about what other features we're working on. https://medium.com/@Boostfy/welc...
@kostgx Also, we have an alpha product that we didn't mention on our website which uses image and video recognition to understand to avoid liking inappropriate posts. Feel free to send an email to bugra@boostfy.co for more details and maybe a demo.
Nice. I am using https://hypegrowth.com for Twitter, could not find anything good for Instagram yet. Will give it a go.
I think that this is an interesting idea - the obvious danger is that the program might like inappropriate material.
@andreasduess Hey Andreas, thanks for kind words. We have an alpha product that we didn't mention on our website which uses image and video recognition to understand to avoid liking inappropriate posts. Feel free to send an email to bugra@boostfy.co for more details and maybe a demo.
@csaba_kissi or no api at all? Possible to do with browser automation tools like selenium or even manually in the browser console w/ javascript
And this is why I hate IT so much. Instagram was created to get an inner artist out. And now we have automated posting, automated liking and whatever is automated is going to be next.
Just in case, please never like my posts automatically. I wanna have people on the other side
@ipstas happens to all social medias. Happened to Facebook, Twitter and now Instagram - it's why all the teenagers moved to Snapchat, and once it happens there, they'll move again
@ipstas @luke_robert that's not the only reason. Too many old people using fb and insta now so it's not cool anymore!
Looks a lot like instagress, but I'm going to follow to see if you prove that you are different.
@julia_mesner will you try our service and give us feedback in product hunt we have a 7 day free trial for you https://www.producthunt.com/post...
It seems interesting although not original. Is there a risk of having the account banned by Instagram? I heard it's a common thing when using similar services.
@jpvalery @kaanayaz_ yeah, I have the same question. Can I use the promo not today but, for instance, tomorrow or on the weekend?
This idea already exists in many different software products such as FollowLiker, which is a bot for Instagram, twitter, Pinterest, and tumblr.
However there is a trend on Instagram with things called Power Likes. The basic idea is that, you get other accounts to like your pages pictures as soon as you post them. A bunch of these likes will boost the post in Instagram's algorithm, helping it go viral and reach more users.
A software to automate these Power Likes among groups of accounts would be something of high demand right now. And some unit I would buy. 👍
