Account freeze with Twitter follow automation tool! SNS should not be automated

Yes, hello, I'm Tsuyoshi Fujii.

This article is a transcript of the video below.

I took a video in a hurry. As for what kind of video it is, it's a little report.

The account. One has been frozen. And the other one was suspended for three days. I can't follow them for the next 3 days. One was suspended, and the other was to freeze the account.

The reason why my account was frozen is Twitter. I tried to automate it with a tool called CaptainData.

You also tried to use this tool to automate the follow-up of people's accounts instead of manually. Some of them could certainly be automated with this tool.

However, in fact, I followed it and followed about 400 to 500 people, and then the account stopped. The tool stopped following.

So it was a so-called suspension. And the other one froze.

So, I froze it in this way, but this is actually in the past. In the past, I used a tool called PhantomBuster to operate Twitter, and as a result, it was frozen.

It's a recidivism because it's not a single freeze, but even if it's a repeat offense, it's just a separate follow-up automation, and there's no such thing as sending a shady DM or anything like that

When using such a tool, Twitter has become especially strict in the past few years.

When you automate on Twitter, your account will be frozen immediately. So if you want to automate Twitter now, you should take this opportunity to review it a little.

"You should review it" is a little advice.

I have used many tools so far. In Japan, there was a tool called Followmatic around 2015, and I used it, and I froze it, and I've been using various tools for more than a few years since then.

After all, I have tried various tools, and the PhantomBuster I introduced earlier is a tool that is not very likely to freeze. To be honest.

But freezing freezes. The reason for this is that Twitter has become stricter in the past few years, especially regarding the automation of followers and Twitter.

So, if you are going to automate from now on, as a result of using various tools, I think it would be better to stop automating for a while.

So, it is better not to automate in the first place, but there are two reasons in particular.

One is that when your account is frozen, all the messages you have accumulated so far will be wasted. You won't be able to use your account, you won't be able to interact with your followers, and you won't be able to send out information and deliver it to them.

So even if you have 100,000 followers, if you freeze, it's over.

And again, I didn't do it, but there are people who automate direct messages. But I think that's frustrating for the recipient in the end.

If you think about it again.

Even though you're not interested, they follow you without permission, and the worst thing is that they suddenly send you a direct message. Some of them have come to me too.

Like, "I'm now free, I'll teach you how to make money." After that, I sometimes receive some kind of adult DMs, but I think it's annoying and unavoidable for people who aren't interested.

That's why this follow-up and DM are automated. That's why I froze this account and thought again.

There are various tools. To be honest. Some tools say, "Our tool will not freeze your account," but you should wait a bit.

In the first place, automation doesn't have a big effect. It's a story about increasing your followers.

The original purpose of increasing followers is that many people misunderstand that by increasing followers, you can visualize the magnitude of your influence. In other words.

That's why I was able to make people think, "This person has a lot of followers, so he's an amazing person," which has been my strength so far.

But people aren't that stupid, and when they have tens of thousands of followers, they're at the level of "Oh, is that so...".

The story is different from a few years ago. So in addition to the fact that there is no more (much) meaning in increasing your followers unnecessarily, you can also hate selfish followers and DMs (especially DMs) to the point of being beaten. Yes, seriously.

Now, when it comes to SNS automation, this is the same for the customers I am in charge of, and it has been the case in the past, but when it comes to scheduled posting, it is okay to use it in the future.

There is a tool like this that allows you to set up posts to be sent out in advance, such as "this tweet tomorrow" or "this tweet the day after tomorrow".

I use SocialBee and other tools, but there is no problem using them.

Those tools will not freeze your account, and that won't be a problem.

In the future. If you want to automate SNS, I think it's a good idea to use scheduled posts. I think it's better to keep it that way.

Especially. Whether it's Twitter or Facebook, it's SNS in the first place. In other words, it is only a place that creates interaction between people.

For business use, it is not a big problem. Using SNS to make your business work effectively is something you should naturally think about as a business, but that's it. If you do something on SNS, there is a law on the SNS platform. There are rules for SNS.

Since you are doing business on top of that, I think it is better to know that there are rules.

So, this time, I talked about what I learned from my account freeze and account suspension, and my thoughts on automation and my current thoughts.

So, see you next time.

Thank you very much.
