Another cost-saving tactic for instagram scammers: you don’t need to buy likes if the post is a video, since the only number displayed on your feed is the number of views (video views can ALSO be bought, as you can see above). Why else would Alex Mucci’s sky-high number of likes per post suddenly plummet on that video clip she posted? It’s because she’s savvy and knows that her paltry number of likes is hidden from view. Social metric sites like Ninjalitics help to reveal this deception, but it only displays the 12 most recent posts, so once Alex deletes her shout-out post for stalkersidney and posts two more photos, her deception will be hidden from view. You can still view it in the app if you open her post and click the number of views, it will show who and how many people liked the video.
