Instagram has a Pornbot Problem… (Anonymous Story Viewer Apps to Blame!)
FYI, SOME SEXUAL/ADULT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS VIDEO. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO SUCH TOPICS, PLEASE WATCH WITH CAUTION.
Are you casually looking through how many people viewed your Instagram story only to get the notification that (Insert explicit phrase here) has liked your story and has no posts except for a stolen photo of a random model as their profile picture and a suspicious URL linked in their bio? Well, turns out it’s a bot account that you just encountered. And there’s a very creepy reason for those bots to come in and like your stories! It’s the result of some person or bot stalking you through a third party app or site that lets you look at your stories anonymously! How can you tell? Because they only like the very last slide you posted in the story. If you see one, don’t click the link because it’s a scam hookup site. But still, somehow Instagram allows these bots to lurk in stories scamming users (especially minors) into signing up for an adult dating site! What were you thinking? Take down anonymous story viewers and the porn bots once and for all, Instagram!
Hope this video helped and stay safe! Sorry the description had to be so lengthy.
