Deciding When to Launch a New Account
Unwanted Behaviors and Their Effects
If you've engaged in activities like purchasing followers or engagement, or using automated bots for comments and follows, it might be best to start anew. Instagram assigns Health scores to accounts, gauging how well an account complies with their standards. Engaging in spammy behaviors can drastically lower this score, leading to diminished reach and visibility. If your account has participated in these activities, creating a new account with a fresh Health score can often yield better results.
