Explanation for constants.ts #5
Comments
first of all, thanks for your amazing review and time for testing ! so i will extract the following info:
i will try to explain the constants a little bit more (but i bet they will get changed really soon anyways :D) the bot is calculating the base interest of a post with base_inc + (number of matching keywords * interest_inc) with this rating it will choose if its interacting with the media or not. for example a 1 in base interest and .5 in like would like every second photo. a .5 in base interest and .5 in like chance would like every fourth picture since the overall rating is 0.5 * 0.5 ... yeah its complicated thats why i will probably change it :D |
Hey, I'm new to javascript, where can I find the constants.ts file on my laptop to change the parameters? Thanks a lot 👍 |
@enrifer please take a look at the advanced configuration in the readme |
Hey Felix,
I had it running for the first time last night and it already liked some posts which is great.
I even got some likes back.
After watching it for a while, I though if I use Instagram manually, I like a lot more in a faster pace. Think about scrolling through Instagram and double tapping on posts you like. I assume I would do around 10 likes in 30 seconds on my feed. As my feed is tailored to my liking, most pictures should be "likeable".
I've set quite some keywords:
How should
interest_inc
be modified in this case? Increase or decrease the value? How much change should be done?Can
base_interest
be modified or should I leave it alone?I set
like_chance = 2
but still feel it likes not many pictures.Maybe you could give a detailed explanation of these properties and their effect in the Readme?
Also if an Image is liked, it would be great to output the URL so we can take a look at what the Bot is doing. Well, statistics and surveillance is a huge different topic.
Regarding speed I would again compare to how I use IG manually. Imagine using it twice a day on a commute. Half an hour each way. in this time I would really interact a lot. Maybe follow 100 people, like 200 posts and comments. During the day I might check in for 5 minutes while having a smoke.
What I'm trying to say and what confused me with InstaPy and other systems is the fact that they were running all day or even just 8 hours continuously which a human would not do.
I know it's very early but these are the initial thoughts and questions that came to my mind.
More to come. Thanks Felix!
Edit: Running again now and I set
like_chance = 50;
which results in much more likes than before but looks like a decent like/skip ratio to me.Edit2: The script finished as expected after 50 likes in around 45 minutes! I like it!
