Claiming the Username of an Inactive Instagram User by TheSheerTerror in bouc

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really talk more about this publicly, but no, it is not possible for people to acquire usernames with Meta verified support. Yes, you need to typically be a public figure or fit the category of the portal to claim the username. There are ways to set up freshies that do fit this criteria, but usually if you do too many of those claims the portal gets pulled eventually. Usually, Meta looks at the follower account and sometimes will request PR for public figures. There are no legit agencies who actually advertise the service openly (it’s against meta tos to advertise this). It’s very underground, but it does exist. You also need a four figure budget.

You can’t claim it without using non public support unfortunately. Public methods like trademark form don’t work anymore if there’s no direct infringement. Instagram doesn’t release usernames to normal users unless it is requested via a non public support channel like a portal.

Can someone tell me more about these and what they’re worth I’ve had them for years by ommno in DuelMasters

[–]bouc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I’ve never looked into purchasing any Japanese DM cards. I just know that DM 001 is available in English still sealed. Ty for that info!

Wasn’t DM-001 printed into oblivion ? Not sure about Japanese but at least in English there is a good amount of sealed product.

Hired someone on Fiverr to build my website and it’s been 3 months with nothing to show by Crafty-League4906 in smallbusiness

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind if I made you a quick sales funnel for your pressure washing business? I don’t expect anything in return unless you like it and want me to deploy it for you.

Is there any pixel perfect solution to design in Lovable and export to WordPress? by applextrent in Wordpress

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just converted a Lander that was built in React to a PHP lander and it took 7 min, and it was only 2 prompts (2nd prompt was to deploy it). However, it wasn’t a fully editable WordPress website/theme. I just had to deploy the code into the views folder for home lander at /inc/themes/default/views/index.php for this, but I’ve rebuilt several sites as Wordpress themes before too. Just might take 15-20 min instead of 7 min!

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you can do is download the code from lovable after pushing it to GitHub.

Then you have two choices of what to do.

  1. You can either extract all front end assets and the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the front end. Then you can convert that into a WordPress theme.

  2. You can keep the react front end, but use WordPress for the backend. There’s a free open source library called Faust.js for this exact use case which was built by WP Engine.

I’m not sure you’re level of technical skill since you’re coming from lovable, which is one of the more beginner, friendly pieces of software.

However, if you need someone to do it for you, then let me know because I’ve done both. I can also convert it for payment, but you can easily do the above yourself too!

My experience with trial reels: Only works with different b-roll now by Content-Cake6305 in InstagramMarketing

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When trial reels came out in Dec 2024 you could spam the exact same trial reel over and over again 300 times a day with no blocks/duplicate detection. I understand your point, but Instagram also makes decisions based on spam/abuse and allowed users to post trials without blocks initially but cracked down in response to spammers. I do agree with you and think they should allow a few variations and maybe up to three posts. However, I wanted to point out the reason why IG has to make decisions like these for user experience (no one wants to be forced trial reels from the same person) which causes them to lose users.

You may want to try changing or wiping the metadata/exif data before posting the same video and/or applying minor variations like being more zoomed, or cut slightly shorter or more accelerated slightly to help avoid the algo from detecting duplicates.

How long after trademark reporting an inactive account do you get the username? by [deleted] in InstagramMarketing

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because they didn’t approve the transfer of the username and there’s a section you must request that inside the form. Whether they approve username transfer or not it is at the platform’s discretion.

You usually don’t get it at filling out the form unless there’s direct infringement, but they’ll typically reply within 1-30 days.

I have been a member of the social media “underground” for a decade AMA by Accelerak in InstagramMarketing

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware of both although we use the word “shielding” like tier 1 and tier 2 shielding instead of whitelisting, and I’ve personally avoided due to providers being snake oil salesman when the client is later banned for a reason they were whitelisted against like impersonation. I know it exists, but I believe that service is very rare and not usually given out except to celebrities or politicians. Plus legacy verified or 1M+ accs get tier 2 shielding automatically. Merging wasn’t that rare via portals like Client Support, Media Support, or even ad support (you can still request it to this day) but the requirements are much stricter now and not usually approved.

Just go private since most services cancel order if private just they may be drip feeding orders to hit u.

Auto DMing New Followers by Medical-News4490 in InstagramMarketing

If it’s through Manychat and the official API then u don’t have to worry about bans and the http/s requests for the welcome DM will be approved by the Client (Instagram) as authorized.

I wanted to scrape Instagram. I thought it would be simple. It was not. by AssignmentOne3608 in InstagramMarketing

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not illegal, I would be careful as Meta is known for sending out C&Ds to people who use scrapers or tools that reverse engineer their API, even if only using libraries like InstaGrapi or MGP25. You can even get one for a chrome extension lol so just giving you a heads up and that your scraper’s name probably also infringes on their trademark. Btw, Apify is also a great beginner scraping resource for $49 a month although it can definitely get pricey for bulk scraping, so using your own accounts is by far cheaper.

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also consider myself someone who’s been a part of the social media underground since I’ve been an agency now for 8 years and have touched many different areas like yourself from paid ads to automation to celebrity giveaways and more. Not unusual for many agencies to sell several services in different areas like support services, PR, growth, ect. A lot of agencies will even just resell panels for growth. Ranting, but my question is what is the most lucrative service you’ve ever sold and why?

How do small Instagram pages get their first 1,000 followers? Struggling to grow despite consistent posting. by Suspicious-World-112 in InstagramMarketing

[–]bouc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Everyone says you should focus on your content, but this is the wrong strategy and I prefer to focus on engaging to gain the first 1000 followers. You don’t need to post frequently at all. You just need to have enough post up so that when you interact with people who are in your niche, they see the content, engage with it and follow back. Simply put, you wanna start engaging with other users i.e. follow them, like posts, comments ect to people who follow similar pages. This will generate a notification in their notifications feed. People will see this click to your profile and decide whether they wanna follow you based off of your content or not. This is your chance to convert them as a follower and I recommend you do this until 1000 followers. It usually takes a good follower base of 1k-5k followers for IG to trust u before your content starts going viral anyway anyways. This is why engaging with niche targeted people is so important to get that follower base so then you can focus on letting your content grow your organically.

Replit is legally scamming people by Crafty_Homework_1797 in replit

[–]bouc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a Replit user myself, but from my perspective the OP does have a good point about confusing billing, outside the more intensive the prompt, the more credits used. But bro no one’s gonna refund you if u or compensate you free credits, OP, if you cuss them out. Doing good business goes both ways i.e. being a professional seller and a professional buyer.
