Just for the full picture: My account was growing extremely well (an accident analyser page). I had daily 300-400 followers and 20-30k views DAILY! I literally ruled most of the hashtag pages with my posts! Then one of my post was blurred then deleted! I did not receive any email but there was a notification of violating terms and condition (graphic content)...actually an animal was shown for a half second being hit by a car...that`s all! (There are far much worse things on Instagram than that! Just see the `#blood` hashtag page for example! What`s more, my post was for educational purpose and 11.000 followers loved it!!)
Since then, Neither me nor any of my followers can see my posts under the hashtags! Even the hashtags I created are empty! This is worse than shadow ban because in that case I and my followers would see my posts in hashtag pages! Now, I hardly have even 20 followers and my views are around 2000 only! This is because other accounts keep helping me out and offering my posts!
I am very disappointed because my page was very useful and it is completely ruined, all my post were removed from hashtag pages. I think, it is very unfair punishment for someone never made mistake on Instagram! They just made my tutorial page a nonsense ghost page! I lost 9 months from my life! Each posts were unique and I edited them!
Instagram don`t communicate with you, don`t inform/warn you, straight away punish! Also no information about the length of the punishment and I think it is very bad! It is worse than any authority and absolutely unfair! They are absolutely not objective and considering at all! Just like a machine.....maybe nobody even sit in that office!
The only thing I can advise to any sensible person is to leave Instagram and do own webpage!
