··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockSyrte, you've inspired me to try and one up you on Instagram with this little gem.
Well... did your little Enterprise work?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
Is Instagram on steroids?

··MWR Tech Support DeptWell, my post on Instargram did garner seven likes, probably because of the musicality of my watch, while I can't seem to find @Syrte 's little airplane watch anymore.
I hid it away after the experiment, but restored it (temporarily) for your viewing pleasure. 😉
It’s interesting to see the wild swings on the numbers. I have to believe the algorithm is built to have a big snowball effect on the posts that are more instantly «popular » and they get bombarded for several days to many people who don’t initially follow the account.
It doesn’t look like it’s happening on all of the bigger accounts though, so perhaps it’s a feature they created to boost numbers and exposure on small or medium accounts?

··MWR Tech Support DeptNow I get it. I just got a sort of ad message on my account, it suggested switching to a business account in order to reach many more people who do not already follow me.
So it seems there’s a campaign to give some people a taste of what a business account would look like.

··Burt Macklin, FBI@Syrte, I have recently noticed a new behavior in Instagram that started a few weeks ago (for me at least), and I wonder if this could be another reason for your spike in activity? In my Home feed, I am familiar with sponsored product ads mixed in with posts from people I follow; however, these “suggested because you like/follow someone else” posts are popping up, which seems a little redundant as that is the purpose of the Discover feed.
So, I wonder if you had been suggested and a photo of yours made it into someone else’s Home feed? Below is an example of what I mean and in the image, at the top, you can see a sponsored ad from Target.

Who knows. Seems have gone back to normal for now. Interesting to observe.
