Describe your issue

You cannot like your own following users due to Check_User function Filtration. when you like user (using filtration) - apparently you end up liking his media by "Check_Media" function. this function includes "check_user", and return false if it fails - means, you cannot filter media without filter also users.

what if you want to like your own followers? youll have to turn off filtration by users. although check_user if effects other scripts running.

by calling this function we may add the attribute filtration=True, unless programmer define something else and all chain calling the function should support this attribute. thank you!

well, @thedarkknight197 your solution does work, but sometimes you do want the filtration to work in other cases and in this case not. so either changing it each time i made my own "like users" function heres whats important for it to work..: i suggest instabot will do something similar..

afterwards the function continue with like process
