Insta-famous: Instagram users can now buy likes from vending machines

Some instas just don’t get the love they deserve.

Choosing between the 50 selfies you spent an hour taking, picking the perfect filter and then thinking up a witty caption to go along with it, only for it to receive 20 likes and a random comment telling you how you can make $5,000 dollars from the comfort of your own home. It's a disappointment, to be sure. However, there is now a very easy way to improve those stats as Instagrammers can now buy their posts some likes at vending machine for just 78 cents. Yes, vending machines have now been installed in shopping malls across Moscow where Instagram users can buy 100 likes for 78 cents or 100 followers for €1.57. However, the new vending machines have started a debate online about whether or not the service is breaking the terms of use and community guidelines on Instagram. But the owners are assuring users that it’s all above board and insist that the likes and profiles used are all real people. There are now around 20 vending machines across Russia, with up to 50 customers reaping the Insta benefits every day. We can't say we wouldn't be tempted.
