So, after posting the 60 second version of this week’s video on our Instagram account (in which I state the likelihood that a huge percentage of Instagram comments are fake), this happens: A lot of the comments we receive are fake, in the sense that they have no connection to the post they’re made on – more than likely because they’re posted automatically by Instagram bots. Whilst pondering the possible reasons for wanting to turn off comments, we had a thought which rang true (for us in any case).
