Comment on Ask HN: Instagram blocked my new account what can I do?parent

I wouldn't know. I only know what it's like to (1) set up an account of any type, which usually requires quite a bit of initial activity, followed later by (2) decreased ongoing maintenance.

But, whatever. They set up an automated system that weeded out a human while letting bots run rampant.

Maybe we need a page about "falsehoods programmers believe about human behavior", but they wouldn't read it. :/
