exactly, and even if they keep following it's kinda pointless if it's just to inflate follow numbers

my impression is that technically it's quite easy (most genetic tests can predict eye color with quite high accuracy), and i'm not aware of it being illegal in the us. tho i agree that the more interesting and promising use of embryo screening is for selecting based on health

it's currently legal in the us, and obviously feasible to detect gender, for example

by the way, in the us it is legal to get designer babies: select for health, but also gender, eye color, height

you can still follow thousands of account per hour, within those limits

it is just a minimal script. even in case you don't code it should be trivial with the help of AI

by the way i don't think follow spam accounts should be banned, unless there are really clear rules. rather clear limits or hiding spammy follows would be the best solution

i mean he did create a pretty smart AI at least

23.02.2025 14:11 — 👍 97    🔁 12    💬 11    📌 1

how much did you follow that they banned you?

23.02.2025 07:14 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

but would you still add them if they would not see your follow? in that case there will be no chance of them adding you back. the solution then is, for account that follow a lot, to hide the follows to other users

the reasons are above in my post. but you would be right if high amount of follow would be hidden to other users, so you can still follow, but it won't create spam, and people will not use it for follow back farming

the is a small list of accounts i will not unfollow, determined programmatically. for now 4 lucky accounts pass my check

do you tend to use the discover feed, or rather custom ones?

some stats, obviously I was inactive for a bit. i very slowly lost followers in that period

update before resuming my follow spam. followed ~13k accounts, followed by 3.2k. equivalent a 24% follow back rate

17.02.2025 15:22 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

how can you see posts of all 2.7k follows?
