After running instauto and SimpleInstaBot for a while now, it seems that I get a fair bit of spammy messages from crypto/financial/investing accounts as well as fake/scam accounts.

Can we introduce a function that checks the user bio for keywords, similar to InstaPy? skip_bio_keyword = ["free shipping", "order", "visa", "paypal", "bot", "nude", "forex", "bitcoin", "crypto", "trader", "investor", "entrepreneur", "finance", "founder"]
