    I know this is in an ethical grey area, but I think it's pretty fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

    Btw, I take it this isn't against Instagram's TOS?

      Glad you enjoyed it!

      The TOS looked a lot different when we made it, but yeah it's against it:

      You're not allow to "harass users with unwanted likes, comments or other actions."

      Now sure what's defined as an 'unwanted like' on a public photo tho
