I posted a 'day in the life' video for a month and my account got flagged for spam
After seeing everyone talk about 'day in the life' videos, I decided to try it. I posted one every single day for 30 days straight, showing my morning routine and work at my desk in Phoenix. I thought being consistent was the key. Instead of getting more followers, my account got flagged for spam activity after about three weeks. The platform's bot thought I was a fake account because I was posting the same type of content so often. I learned that even if a trend is huge, you still have to follow the platform's hidden rules. Going all-in on something without checking how the system works can backfire. Has anyone else hit a weird limit like this when trying to follow a trend?

Ugh, that's the worst. The algorithm can't tell real passion from spammy behavior. You basically got punished for being too consistent.

Phoenix mornings look pretty similar, so I get why a bot would flag 30 identical videos. Did you try mixing up the times you posted or adding different tags each day? Murphy.linda is right about the algorithm being dumb, but it seems like the platform just hates pure repetition.
