Let me re-iterate my thoughts: if you think that you can set this script up, leave it, and make loads of SaaS money and go retire happily ever after, you're in for a rude awakening. Now if you're utilizing the script for your own accounts where you don't have liability and responsibility to the customers, then I say definitely go for it.
If you're trying to SaaS your way into retirement, there are plenty of other options. This market is way too crowded, there are existing platforms that offer way better UI/UX/tools/reports that will eat you alive when compared side by side, and if you don't have a team to maintain the site, deal with customer support, constantly have scripts checking to see if all proxies are working as intended, assigning unqiue proxies to each customer, etc. etc., you're gonna just end up wasting time.
The only way to really be successful with this script is to use it as a *base* and build on top of it. Find a niche. For example, my company is currently in a non-English speaking country where competition is 50X less, and we're using AI and big data to actually provide valuable information regarding not only their social media presence but keeping track of weekly/monthly KPIs, conversion rates, and *business analytics* which is what they actually want. We provide a very comprehensive pen-test report since so many small businesses sites' securities are a sack of sh**, and a basic SEO report for members and keyword tracking for SERPs. A lot of these require expensive proxies, so we developed our own network that allows of converting customer phones into a mobile proxy for their own accounts. Not a single account API rate limited or banned, cause the data scraping and actions are coming from the same IP that the accounts originally used in the first place. (I'm positive that Instagram still knows that its a proxy, but can't do anything or won't do anything because its the original IP and they can't go around and start banning every IP they suspect -- I posted the method on how to do this months ago, if you search deep within these pages you'll find it)
Another way to actually succeed with this script is to strip all the bullshit modules away. There's a huge segment of the market that only wants to see their account grow. The instagram auto activity tool is an incredibly valuable tool, you can market the ALONE as the selling point. They don't give a rats ass about scheduling, file management, caption saving, DMing through the web, etc. Study some more about Instagram's algorithm, figure out a way to either set up your own mobile/residential proxy network that doesn't leak the DNS, or find a *very* reliable source of resi/mobile proxy providers that provides *static* IP's from somewhere near your physical location (not rotating proxies, nor sticky proxies. - the longer an IP address is associated with an account, the more IG trusts the IP and allows it to do whatever it wants). Hint: very very hard to find. Unless you want to dish out $200-$1000 a month on proxies alone, and pass a vigorous KYC application, you're just going to be wasting your time with clients. You might get away with one or two accounts for yourself, as long as you start slow. But just because you bought a "premium" proxy doesn't mean sh**. Even with resi/mobile proxies that are solid, IG still knows you're a fuckin bot hahaha. Last time I checked, they keep track of 30 to 40 parameters (dont remember the exact number and lazy to find the link) that pretty much fingerprints the sh** out of you, so no matter what you're always at the mercy of IG.
The moment that they smell you running a full fledged SaaS with many clients using the auto activity module, that's when the ban hammer comes down all at once. Trust me, I've seen it happen on multiple occasions.
TL;DR: if you really don't know what you're doing, this script is best to be used as a personal tool to grow your own social accounts. Going the SaaS route is a bad idea for 99% of you.

Well said. Very very well said.
Taking bits and pieces of important code from different sources and sewing them up resulting in a beautiful, unique platform. Love it.
