Need to add one comment after every 100 comments delete #2

I found that instagram algorithm is stopping us by not showing us next comments but we can hack the algo by adding one comment after every delete

Hi there! Thanks for raising the issue. Could you elaborate on the details of your circumstances where the hack worked? I want to make sure we are talking about the same issue.

Were you getting the "something went wrong" prompt, where it does not load the next comments properly after you hit the rate limit, and even after a reload the same thing happens until a few hours pass?

If so, are you saying that adding a comment bypasses the limit such that you don't have to wait a few hours before retrying?

To be honest, I'm out of comments to test with because the script has removed them all for me. So your input will help a bunch if you could described how your solution works in details. So that I can have enough information to implement it in the script.

Thanks for letting me know!

I just tried it myself and I can confirm; instagram was telling me I had no comments posted yet, I went to a random post and made a comment, and all of a sudden the older comments loaded again

See guys, the solution is we need to add one comment after deleting 100 comments so that the Instagram bot won't stop us from deleting more if we don't add the comment it will block us by saying we don't have anything to delete. to bypass this we need to add one comment on any random post and then continue deleting until the next batch of 100 comments and then again add one comment and again continue deleting. so the algorithm is like this for every hundred deleted comments add a new comment on a random post

yes but if you add one comment manually from your phone or web and refresh it will show. so we need to modify the script in such a way that it automatically add 1 comment after deleting 100 comments
