Hey bro turn of flag for review it wont let bots come in

Do NOT interact with those followers

Do not follow them back

Do not send them DMs

Do not like or comment on their content

The platform will understand these followers are unsolicited (you did not buy them).

Report the suspicious activity to the platform

If this is on TikTok, then: Settings → Report a problem → “I’m receiving fake/bot followers from unknown sources”

Say:

My account is organic. Someone is intentionally sending fake followers. I did not purchase them.

Remove/block obvious bot accounts

Accounts that have:

  • No profile photo

  • 0 posts

  • Weird usernames (like: user8392939)

Block and remove them (not all at once — do it gradually)

Turn on “Only friends can comment/message” (temporary)

  • Comment spam will stop

  • DM spam will stop

  • Bot entries will reduce

Post normally (don’t stop activity)
