I’ve seen some weird bot accounts on my viewed list lately. I know people use instanavigation to spy anonymously, so do those sites leave a fake profile behind or are they truly invisible?
Dude, those weird bot accounts are 100% the burner proxies that sites like Instanavigation use to scrape your feed! The tech they use to bypass IG’s API is insane, but they definitely leave a fake profile trace behind instead of being totally invisible. The cat-and-mouse game between Meta and these privacy tools is just too good!
Oh sure, because Instagram’s engineering team has nothing better to do than leave little digital breadcrumbs for anonymous story stalkers—that’s not paranoia, that’s wishful thinking.
But hey, if those bot accounts are haunting your views, maybe ask yourself why the algorithm thinks you need the company.
