- 0:42Speaker 3: It's like I have multiple fake Instagram accounts that I

- 1:04Speaker 3: and I left just over-the-top ridiculous comments in one of
- 1:07Speaker 3: my posts to see what would happen, and– So it worked.
- 1:11Speaker 3: So a bunch of people started arguing and some people
- 1:13Speaker 3: were like defending me. Others were like going off each other.
- 1:16Speaker 3: So it got like semi viral or, you know, just
- 1:19Speaker 3: got like a bunch.
- 1:20Speaker 2: So real. Wait, you're just trolling yourself. But it's genius.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's triggering the algorithm to promote. OK, so
- 1:30Speaker 1: you get a fake Instagram. You start lighting up your own,
- 1:33Speaker 1: you know, whatever story or real Instagram. To get people talking,
- 1:37Speaker 1: they start engaging, start arguing. That shows Instagram like, whoa,
- 1:41Speaker 1: something's going off over here.
- 1:43Speaker 2: It's spicy. Promote it.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Yeah.

- 2:02Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 2:02Speaker 3: Like, love of the game type of thing. So I
- 2:05Speaker 3: go on other people's pages and just talk trash. And
- 2:09Speaker 3: sometimes it's strangers. Sometimes it's people I actually know just, like,
- 2:12Speaker 3: annoy them. Because they annoy me. You know what I mean? So, yeah,
- 2:15Speaker 3: they have no idea it's me.

- 2:20Speaker 1: no reason.
