How to use InstaPy to like all the posts by a user?

Question

I am a newbie to Python, PIP and InstaPy.
I am trying to create a program that will like all the posts belonging to a specific user.
This is what I have written so far:

""" Quickstart script for InstaPy usage """
# imports
from instapy import InstaPy
from instapy import smart_run

# login credentials
insta_username = 'my_insta_username'  # <- enter username here
insta_password = 'my_insta_password'  # <- enter password here

# get an InstaPy session!
# set headless_browser=True to run InstaPy in the background
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
                  password=insta_password,
                  headless_browser=False)

with smart_run(session):
    """ Activity flow """
    # general settings
    session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
                                    delimit_by_numbers=True,
                                    max_followers=600,
                                    min_followers=100,
                                    min_following=77)

    session.set_dont_include(["friend1", "friend2", "friend3"])

    session.set_do_like(True, percentage=100)
    session.interact_by_users(['some_username'], media='None')

But the problem is that it ignores almost all the post made by some_username and only performs the sessions.set_do_like function on some of the posts.
Here is my console output:

How do I fix this?

My system:
OS: Windows 10
Python: 3.8.3
PIP: 20.1.1
InstaPy: 0.6.8

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Well, I was trying to make this to increase the likes on my friends' Instagram page... But, if you say so... — Samyak Jain, Jun 25 '20 at 13:29

I got the same error, I've noticed that randomize=True multiplies the amount by ten, so just set it to false and you'll be set :) (are you samyak-mpstme?)
