BANNED FROM INSTAGRAM A.K.A SHADOWBANNED
According to later.com your engagement will drop drastically, follower count decline, and photos not showing up in hashtags.
The general consensus is that shadowbanning is Instagram’s attempt to prevent content which is against their terms of service and encourage users to play by the rules, namely posting engaging, relevant and interesting content that receives genuine engagement from the community.
THE WAY I FOUND OUT I WAS SHADOW BANNED....
1.)Logging into my account after a days rest only to see this...
"sorry there was a problem with your request"
2.)Excuse me?!....
I am always logged into my business account so that was my first clue. style After several attempts to follow the I forgot password options.
All of the sudden my user name and email cant be found.
3.) Luckily my other accounts were still okay (so I thought), logged out of my 3 accounts and attempted to re-log in... BIG MISTAKE !!!
4.) Deleted the app. still no luck with logging into now all 3 of my accounts.
5.) I contacted the good people at Instagram for an explanation.
my Business account got this email....
I wanted to cry! I have worked so hard gaining genuine followers. With the little followers I have and I was finally starting get more likes, tags and comments on my page. Small Business owners know how hard this is.
Sad thing is they secretly shadow banned you — and you wouldn’t even know it. Something as innocent as using the same hashtag repeatedly could hide all of your Instagram posts from people who aren’t following you!
Emailing Instagram support doesn't help. style You're basically out of luck if they ban or disable you, even if you were clearly hacked.
6.) I tried my other counts and was told send a picture with my user name on it.
I did exactly what they requested was told I was all set to log into the IG app..WRONG.. still couldn't recognize me.
