R.I.P @songinkollo on Instagram

I hate how Instagram is handling gay artists, because of their stupid guidelines. 😒

Ian's Male Art

This is very disappointing when there are already many subscribers and blocking the profile. But you are a good fellow, that you are so optimistic! I wish you great luck in new endeavors!

VitAnyaNaked

Song .. where can i see your daily gay sex life couple ??

Instagram is being ridiculous now. It highly relies on AI to decide whether a post should be banned. Also, the cost to misreport a post is so low while correct it is so high!

Peter

Omg I was so sad I couldn't find your account today on Instagram. Happy I found you on patreon

Summer Koenig

When Muscle Giant and Totem Warriors gonna be back in store ?

Ollie Arsan

Ok

😣😢

Guilherme Cruz

I was wondering what happened on Insta, but I’m glad to know you’re still here. They just could not handle your awesomeness!

Jason Tock

These are dark times, seeing what's happening with Tumblr too. Still, you have a very positive reaction. Bravo !

CLX

Cool !

Open another account keep bugging them those wired Instagram evaluation people

Afan Huang

Don’t let the bastards grind you down. ✊

Dominic Villareal

I’m so glad I’m a sponsor so I have access to your content here!

Kevin King

i would've completely forgotten your amzing art even existed if i wasnt following you here, instagram and some people have so many problems smh

I'm so sorry! So glad I follow on here!

Sad to read about this stupid decision from Instagram morons. I'm glad I'm here on patron to support my little way... Can't wait what's coming next.... With love from Belgium

:( this sucks. I was wondering qhy lately I wasn’t seeing any of your strips. And I’m that jind of guy qho always likes or comment xD

BCXVI

Your new account is inkollomax or is someone else??

Sebby

I've seen you mention this a number of times, but I just want to make sure I'm following your new Instagram, but can't find where you've mentioned it, is it inkollomax?

Mark Greco

😥😥😥😥

Michaelicious

uhm, try mention to the team u want to "advertise" on the platform u just might get some more "friendly" help i've been told........sigh

J. SONG

well crap. fuck em. They really should have gotten someone to step in for you. Or let us petition. Still your loyal supoorter!

Trevayne van Niekerk

WHAT?!?!?!!?!? :O

So sorry that this happened.

Dominick

Stay strong. Stay true.

Chichu Chua

Song, set up a website. That way the „man“ can‘t keep you down. Then just use social media to direct traffic to it. I‘m sorry this crap is happening to you!

Cecile Cloutier

Keep working hard Song! Je t’aime!

Sending you heaps of love from Canada 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Eric Closs

Keep creating such excellent work as we will be supporting you all the way!

joined today love to see your work so sad to see this though

Spartical

Thank goodness we still have you here on Patreon! I would suggest ask Instagram anyways and try your best to have your account restored. So much good memory and we can’t afford losing it. Also middle finger to whoever reported.

That is absurd! There are so many more sexually provocative accounts.

Inna Gerber

It's great to hear you have such a positive outlook about this. I find it very frustrating. I've been reading a lot about how so many social media outlets end up removing accounts for no good reason. It all boils down to what rep looks at your account, and how they feel about your content. It's very unfortunate you've been affected by this trend.

Angie Kahler

I'm so sorry to hear this! There are thousands of sexually explicit posts on Instagram, not to mention the ones that are sexually suggestive. I am angry for you!

Wiliam Kibler

Your the best and fuck them and Facebook. Have you thought of Twitter? That allows more freedom

Antolin Aler

I am so sorry!

Stephanie Martin

IG will not keep a good man down, you are having a positive attitude. You’ll be back & will be even stronger 👍🏼👍🏼🤓

William Deutsch

If you make a new one, I’ll follow again. A lot of your fans probably will. Best of luck!

Sarah Pollock

As always, best of luck!

Rood Inverse

Take it easy. You have been bending over backwards trying to make it work there. It’s owned by Facebook now so that’s the way it goesI guess. Please don’t take it as a critique of your art. You are doing so well. Keep going. Don’t let this get to you.

Danny Provencio

please do keep on creating, you will have my love and support no matter what

ROBBIEDOUGGIE

That is literally the most frustrating thing. Kudos to you and your attitude!!

Christopher Angle-Hobson

Fucking instagram. Song, you KNOW you have my support, and I'm glad to see you determined to re-group and push forward with even more creative inspiration to share with us fans!

Tim Clements-Levin

Social media can be troubling and sometimes a burden (for me anyway). Usually I end up trying to create things that I think people will enjoy when in the grand scheme I should be creating for myself. Social media almost ruined that for me - the joy to create art for just loving to create. It's a constant reminder that I do it for me and if people like it then that's awesome. I will continue to follow your work. ❤️

Mister Guiang

That's disappointing but sometimes it's not about the numbers and likes and all that jazz. I agree with you that perhaps things like this can be almost like a weight off your shoulders - at least how I see it.

Mister Guiang

Might be worth at least a contact to them. Your material on Instagram is so soft compared to the LITERAL asses being shown and sexual services (OnlyFans, anyone?) being sold all over the platform. Ridiculous. Very glad to see you have such a positive outlook on it! Besos! 😘

Malik M.L. Williams

I’ve been watching you since you had your website open as Xong. You will gain that following back.

Zhu

That’s ridiculous. There are people literally selling their asses all over insta, but they have a problem with suggested sex in illustrated form? They hypocrisy stinks on more than one level. Forget instagram, wherever you create, you already have your following! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!

Keidra Shinal

It's bullshit, but I'm SO glad you're not discouraged. I love your work! ❤️ 🤘 👏

FCK!!! That is just unbelievable! your account was unique and also you create really good content. Anyway when a door is closed...you know the rest! Best wishes!

Instagram is full of shit 😡. The good news is that you have a lot of networks to show your work. You are great Song! 😘

Mariachi

So Sad and mad this happened but you have my Support buddy!

SirDMagic

Sorry this has happened. If it makes any difference, I found you via a posting someone made on Facebook and began following you on Patreon, where I read your materiel. I, for one, never looked at your Instagram posting.

Oliver Emmitt Smith

Oh f@@k ! you have all my support! This situation does not make sense. Instagram must protect creators from haters, because with these numbers haters are a big problem and he can't use the algorithm to ban. I think that we have to create a group o some thing like that to push and sensitize IG.

AKE

I'll be fine, the fact is that I think I have way more fans who love my works than all the haters on Instagram. But I had 190, 000 followers, even only 1% of them are haters, that's 1900 people who report me every single day. It's a lot, and there's nothing I can do about it.

SONG Inkollo

Pas encore, mais je vais le découvrir, c'est pour les gamers, non? XD

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much Ben. Instagram once was a great platform for me to reach new fans, but since last year, I have been shadow banned and only 20 percent of my fans actually saw my posts every time I post something. That's why I'm not surprised about what happened. Patreon proves to be a much safer place for my art, and I'm glad I have your support here. XD

SONG Inkollo

People are so damn pathetic. What the actual fuck.

CiCi ?

Discord, tu as pensé ?

Sébastien Godier

You probably had a troll. I'm so sorry Instagram has been approved cruel to you. I actually found you on Instagram and I love your content which is why I support you here, on Patreon.

Benjamin Rafuse

Thank you very much Appollo. I'm also looking forward to creating more beautiful and funny strips for you guys in the future.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Wil. I'll stay strong no matter what happens next. Patreon is certainly the last safe haven for my type of content. Instagram is over but this won't stop me from posting on other social medias. XD

SONG Inkollo

Merci beaucoup, mon Seb. Je ne cherche plus à comprendre pourquoi Instagram a fait ce qu'il a fait. Je vais rester optimiste à ce qui à venir. J'ai envie de créer plus de belle choses pour mes fans. Ne t'inquiète pas pour moi. Gros bisous.

SONG Inkollo

Lots of social media has been failing it's users lately. You produce quality content and look forward to following you into the future.

apollo151

I’m so glad that I follow you on Patreon. Have you thought about utilizing Tumblr? Stay strong my talented friend!

Wil Chaney

C'est du foutage de gueule, mon ami. C'est encore quelqu'un de jaloux de ton talent. Et puis, l'excuse est trop forte. Il y a des photos qui sont plus qu'explicitent que tes dessins qui sont politiquement corrects. C'est encore une "Boutiniste" mal b..sée 😠

Sébastien Godier

Thank you very much, Dries. Your support means a lot to me. I will survive this, like a pheonix. Hugs.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Miguel. And I love you too, as well as everyone here on Patreon supporting me. This instagram removal is just another obstacle on the road to success, another big failure. I had many failures in the past, this is just one of them. I was poor as fuck as well, so I'm prepared for this. And this time around, I feel much better with all the support. I will persist and survive. Big hugs.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Tommaso. That's a very positive point of view projecting the future, and I agree with you one hundread percent. It definitely gives me a lot to think about. Hugs. XD

SONG Inkollo

Song, you're a true example ! All the love from Belgium. Reach out if you need any help/support. Your fans are here for you.

Dries Voorspoels

Thank you very much, Danny. I will keep on working hard, this won't be the end of me. And I do believe I will keep my fans entertained for the days to come. Hugs.

SONG Inkollo

I was worried about what it would mean to you that bastard thing. I’m glad that you are reacting as you should, courageous. We love you, Song! (If you permit me the joke, we love you and it’s not because your monster sized cock! It’s because we feel better with your creations)

Miguel Gómez Valente

Thank you, Shayne. Don't worry for me, I will keep on creating my daily life on Patreon. This time, without thinking too much about Instagram censorship. XD

SONG Inkollo

I'm so sorry to hear that! Be strong, and keep doing your awesome comics here on patreon! And if you can, try to restart again with instagram, you'll be able to reach again all of your followers! Hugs!

Narciso di fuoco

Thank you very much, Reirotic. I did appeal shortly after I got the notification. But I'm not keeping my hope up, cause Instagram has been shadow ban me for months. I would be a fool to not see it coming. I'm no celebrity, so my chance of getting it back is not great, but I feel OK. As long as I have my boyfriend, my family, my health and my supporters on Patreon, I'll be OK. Not to mention I have my own app INKOLLO coming soon. My hard work and persistance to take me through this, I have the faith.

SONG Inkollo

That so sad and I am sorry that it happened to you especially with all you hard work out into it. Your fans are dedicated and will find you again :)

Danny Moran

Lol Zach. I never blocked anybody on instagram, even the haters. Ironically, I was blocked by instagram eventually.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much JM. I will be lying if I say I didn't see it coming a long time ago. The social media is controlled by Facebook which has been under a lot of fire lately. I knew something bad would happen eventually. And I was right. The witch hunt is here and I was the biggest witch in gay comics at the moment. But I will rise from the ashes. It taught me a valuable lesson. A new beginning!

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Dana. I do think IG has double standards when it comes to my type of content, but what happened happened. I can't go back. All I need to do is move forward and learn from this experience and do better in the future. I won't give up. XD

SONG Inkollo

Thank you Johan. It's just an incident in life, this won't stop me. IG is definitel getting more and more strict with my type of content. I posted the same kind of images two years ago, and it wasn't such a big deal.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you, Amanda. I like the old saying "What can't kill you makes you stronger", this certainly didn't kill me, so I will come back stronger and more determined. Hugs.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you, Luke. I have a twitter account, luckily it's still there. XD

SONG Inkollo

Oh no!!! Bastards! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next

Shayne

Thank you very much, Alexandros. Maybe this is a sign that I will achive great success one day, who know? Great success always comes from hard work and epic failure. XD Joeux Noêl à toi aussi. XD

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Arpan. I contacted the support and there was no reply. Since I can't login to my account, there's really nothing I can change at the moment. I'm not worried, this is not the first time that this kind of thing happened to me. This is actually my second instagram account that being deleted by Instagram. XD

SONG Inkollo

The same thing happened to my lgbt support group instagram without any sexual content. Funny thing is I was able to appeal and get my account back up and running for 4-5 times. (Click the "Please let us know if this is a mistake" to appeal) Then after too many reports from sensitive folk, there isn't an option to get it back on again. The support group in Instagram is non-existent if you don't see an option to appeal. So... yep >_> I do have a celebrity friend who had a lot of followers and they managed to get it back on after mentioning instagram on twitter or something. What a feat though!

Thank you very much, Oscar. Besides, Patreon Archive is always here. XD

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Kyle. I will keep on going, I won't stop. XD

SONG Inkollo

Omg I thought u blocked me at first

Zach

It's great you're taking this well. I was scared you'd be disheartened by this. Go forth to new beginnings!

JM D

I am so sorry, Instagram is such BS ... I see so much more explicit content there that is still up and running😡😡😡 I m just glad you re not giving up❤️❤️

Dana Tudor

Omg Instagram. I hate you ... IG

Johan Huang

I'm glad you are looking at the positive side. Don't let IG dictate your success. I'm sure you will come back stronger than ever.

Amanda Lee

Oh no :( have you tried with Twitter? It's not as restrictive as Instagram

😰 So sorry to hear this 😟 Your account was awesome like your art 🤓Hopefully You see the bright side of this 😊 Come on! We support you! Go ahead 🤗 It’s a brand new blank page... Create 🥳🎊 *PS:Maybe consider having a rest for a while 😜 with the Joe ☺️ Joyeux Noël 😙

They have just disabled your account. Contact the support team and they will restore your account. Remove the content in question, something that you might have posted recently’ and you are off the hook.

Glad you still have your Twitter following and here. Maybe there's a better place for your art. Sad to lose the archive tough

I am sorry to hear that. Good thing I just became your patron, so I can still enjoy your comic hehe. Your works are lovely, your love with Joe is very inspiring. Keep up the good works. ;p Stay healthy and happy.

Kyle_Tekehe

You'll rise from this stronger than ever. You're a great artist, and bring a lot of unique elements to the table that will continue to bring in supporters, even if that's at a slow rate. I started out my support with a 50 dollar pledge, and now that I've caught up, I continue to go with a 5 dollar pledge, and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon. (Its a must that I support a fellow pec lover ❤)

Trevor Hale

If Instagram were serious about these rules they would have to remove a large majority of users and content!

Nix

Blessing in disguise. Now you can rebuild stronger than ever. You should contact pages like Jeff and the griffopotomus they had the same issue. They just got stronger

Julian

No way 😭😭😭 I fucking love your posts, Good luck Lolo😘

Sebby

On peut toujours te suivre sur Twitter en attendant... de plus aucun filtre dessus... mais pour Instagram, je comprends pas. C’est toujours resté soft...
