How does the Instabot filter people?

It's no secret that Instabot, before subscribing to people, filters them so as not to subscribe to a knowingly inactive and fake audience. Below you will find the entire list of conditions that apply in this filtration.

Options

To begin with, it is worth pointing out the conditions that you are free to change. Below I will give those parameters of the bot constructor, which are related to filtering.

bot = Bot(max_likes_to_like=100,
          max_followers_to_follow=2000,
          min_followers_to_follow=10,
          max_following_to_follow=10000,
          min_following_to_follow=10,
          max_followers_to_following_ratio=10,
          max_following_to_followers_ratio=2,
          min_media_count_to_follow=3,
          stop_words=['shop', 'store', 'free'])

If you want to change these values to your own in some example, just replace the bot = Bot () line with this one, but with your values. Next, I will write the names of these parameters instead of the values themselves.
