Why do strangers like and comment on your Instagram pictures?

[shortcrayon248]

I've posted some Instagram pictures, and people that I've never seen before in my life start liking and commenting on them.

[Bob.. James Bob]

because they should be outside more often

[Pinhead Larry]

Um because your page is public probably?

I don't do instagram

Well when you think about it more than half the people ON your instagram ARE strangers

I don't do it, but I think it seems like fun. Like if you think a picture is really cool, you want to say something about it. Most picture sites are like that, instagram is a little more like social media, but flickr and deviantart and photobucket are all about random people commenting on photos.

........Are you serious? Why is your Instagram public?

[PAX]

Because they want extra followers. Sometimes they'll follow and unfollow you so that you get a notification of them following you which sometimes results in you following them back. However, since you don't get a notification when someone UNfollows you, you probably won't even notice they used you to get an extra follower.

Or.. something like that lol
