Why is it so hard for Instagram to get rid of or at least regulate bots on their platform?
In: Technology
Think of it as an arms race. Instagram is trying to prevent bots, and is constantly introducing new measures and algorithms to do so. Meanwhile, the bot programmers are constantly trying to find ways to circumvent said algorithms. Once one person finds a workaround, the code is shared around, and everyone can circumvent it. Then Instagram is back to square one.
