How does Instagram feel about robots (following, liking, etc.)?

Question

API

The essence of the question: does Instagram always have a negative attitude towards robots that automatically follow people or like everyone in a row?
I understand that the answer "yes" seems obvious, but there are a lot of Instagram accounts that do just that (and have been for quite some time).
So Instagram, represented by the moderators, gave them permission to receive, for example, relationship permission and did not take it back due to the use of robots?
Moreover, the owners of such accounts would have to send a screencast of their application - this is mandatory under the new rules of Instagram.

For a long time, the official API has not been used for this. Requests are emulated as if they are coming from the application.
