Hi guys, my IG account was disabled this morning. I'm really sad, I really don't even know what to say. I haven't created a new one yet, but will come back to this post once I do. I just had to write this somewhere 😢 Signed, Previously known as neesy118

What? Did they give a reason? Was is music???
Neesy118 ·
It said I violated terms of service, so I'm pretty sure it was music, unless someone reported my account
Veena ·
I bet it was music 😓
You too!!!!!! Ugh! Exactly same “reason” as mine. I bet it was music too.

Sighs 😭😢😭

Oh criminy. That really sucks. :-(
That's so awful. :( please let me know so I can refollow! I'm currently muting all my videos, but I know I had a few from like a year ago with music, hopefully they don't dig too deep. Ugh so annoying
Oh no I'm so sorry.
Aw man...that sucks. I don't post on IG yet but I know posting videos on IG is a big ordeal for the studio I attend because of the whole music thing so it's unfortunately not uncommon. :( Let us know when you're back on IG.

I never post with music to IG or FB....it makes me sad, like depressed sad, I miss the old days of creating pole videos for fun. I've stopped sharing my videos altogether because social media doesn't allow music (unless I've payed for it) and I like to dance to whatever comes on my google play list. Polers only want to interact on FB and IG so I gave up, I still record but all videos just sit on my go pro or I watch them back and delete them.

It makes me really sad too. Music is huge, it's where all the feels come from. I'm told I can use non copyrighted music but its not the same if I don't know it or feel it Thanks four letting me vent guys. Veena, I miss your full videos

*for. I hate autocorrect & misspelling lol
Oh no! That sucked so bad, you Instagram account was awesome....stupid music police
Veena - I would love to see your videos. Now I'm depressed about the whole music thing. :(
Veena, you mentioned paying for it... in what way do you have to pay for it? Cause I mean I've paid for lots of music over the years, physical CDs, Vinyls, iTunes, and Apple Music. But I don't think I can still play those things.... I do think there is different licenses for personal use vs. sharing but I'm not sure... I mean FB at least gives you a chance to appeal when they take a video down... so I guess if you own it you can appeal it then. Instagram just seems to shut down whole accounts without warning :(
Totally agreed with the feels comment. I personally still dance to commercial music but mute the videos to post. I think the feels still can be noticed, even in silent, even if it is not ideal. I still have to explore non-copyrighted music, what I found so far doesn't inspire me much. Also, many people don't play IG videos with sound on, so why risking?

Latinpoler, I am just not feeling the non copyrighted music either, or I just don't know how to search for what I'm feeling. On another note, I'm now @neese118. I'll start the building process. My new page is pretty depressing😢

Allyson, any music you hear on the site or on my social media I've purchased. It's high quality royalty free music you can purchase for business or personal use. Most songs are about 50-60 dollars per song!!! Another site I use charges something like 150 - 200 for a year of access to all of the music on the site, however you need to click a button every time you use a song so they can give credit to the artist.
Veena ·
I should clarify, these are good songs but not ones anyone would recognize! I've heard a few of the pieces I've used on TV commercials and food network shows!! lol
Very interesting Veena... I feel like instagram doesn't ask if you own it, and it seems like there is no way to dispute it if they do shut you down. So I was curious how that works. The whole things is making insta less fun. Personally I see a lot of people out there getting followings covering other peoples songs. Singing/guitar whatever... and they don't get picked up by the copyright police because thats harder to detect. But when its like 30 sec of background music in a studio and they pull your video its extremely frustrating :/
There is a possibility that this is actually a repeat of a big/glitch IG problem that happened in January and again in July this year. It tells you you've been locked out for service violation but you have not really. Here's some news on it: https://thepreviewapp.com/instagram-deleted-photos-account-disappeared-whats-happening/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/7/6/15929478/instagram-deleted-accounts-why In some cases accounts have returned by IG (bear in mind there's probably a backlog) . Several massive yoga accounts had this happen - and they were just photos not videos. So try contacting IG and don't give up! Re music; I now only dance to YouTube remixes and DJ remixes. I like lyrical 90s house music and chilled or epic dubstep, I like chill out instrumental mixes so this works for me. If I want specific music eg creepy Halloween I search non copyright/no copyright /free to use music with that theme and if I want to dance to a specific artist I try to find a live version not an album version. If in doubt I play the video on my phone whilst enabling Shazam on another device to see if the music is picked up. Finally, as well as posting my fave videos on SV o have a back up IG account with a different email and I post videos there too. I don't use it to interact with followers, just to stash stuff that won't fit on my phone. So if I disappear all isn't lost. I hope you and Latin Poler get your accounts back. I also wish more people would post their videos here. It's lovely to see people on here. And Veena I would be so happy if you would share your dances again! I love your dance and all you do is inspirational 💙❤️💙
Preview App“Instagram deleted photos”, “My Account Disappeared”: What’s happening?Everything you need to know: Instagram deleted photos, accounts disappear and reappear. What's going on? What should you do?In my case I had Rihanna, Beyonce, etc. as my soundtrack, so probably it was not a glitch. I always thought and hoped that the squeaky xStage plus the fan ceiling background noise would confuse the IG music bots, but I guess it did not work. Lesson learned. Sad, maybe stupid, but those are the IG terms. I contacted IG several times a day the first days after I was disabled but I did not hear back. Not even an automated “your request has been received” notification. My account was closed about one month ago. It was shocking for the first week or so, then I started to get over it. I reposted what I still had and starting following people again. On the bright side, I got rid of old personal posts that I wanted to delete but never find the time. So fresh start. It's necessary sometimes...

Instagram closed your account for copyright infringement???? Some of my posts got blocked due to this but never something as drastic as that! What seems to be working A LOT for me (100% of the time) is posting the video where I'm dancing to music playing live during the video. I mean, if I edit the video and add music, IG will block it. If I play music during my performance, combo of trick it will be totally fine. Good luck with your new account, I hope your experience this time is much better than before!
I'm super new to all this and have no pole stuff on my IG (yet), but just curious: Is there a reason polers don't put more videos on Youtube? After searching around for a bit, it looks to me like Youtube doesn't remove videos with copyrighted music--mostly, they'll just put ads on it and then pay the copyright holder. And they have a big list you can search that says which songs are allowed that they'll put ads on, and which will get your videos removed, and in which countries (since it varies). But I really don't know anything from experience. Just went down a bit of a Google rabbit-hole since this makes me very sad as well!

Youtube doesn't remove (anymore) is was bad and that's why I stopped posting there and only posted my dances here. Now they can block videos in some countries if you use certain copyright music but yeah, they just put an ad on it now. I stopped posting dance videos there because even though YT doesn't remove vids anymore, no one seems to watch them. At least that's what my views and comments indicate. This generation of pole dancers all use IG and want to see clips of tricks, not full expressive dances so I change with the times and only post free advice and tips on my studioveena YT, but no more dances.
