The Lurker

We've all been there - 54 weeks deep into someone's profile, about to zoom in when your finger accidentally double taps and the whole world comes crumbling down. An accidental like for an experienced lurker is embarrassing to say the least but that is part and parcel of using Instagram to track people's lives. This stereotypical grammer loves to keep tabs on what their followers are up to.

From the pictures you post, to the filters you choose, Instagram can reveal a lot about you! Of course you may not fit perfectly into one of these stereotypes, there are plenty of others out there, but after clear calibration and research these results show where majority fit into the broader scheme of the gram.
