Summary | The author of the article posted a picture of the New York Times headquarters on Instagram, and got 11 comments from strangers, and none of them is related to the author. There is big marketing reason behind those comments; if a user follows or likes a public account's post, those accounts can in return use their automated liking and commenting. This is a marketing tactic used by companies in hopes that random Instagram users will like those automated public accounts in return. Small businesses want to have a lot of likes and followers in order to get some attention. However, the follower count is not representative of true following or of the work done by the business.
