Now you can buy Instagram likes from vending machines; $0.89 for 100 likes

I don't even know, how to react to this piece of news. This is the 21st century. And here you don't earn fame but buy it via a simple vending machine. Yes, you read it right, our social media obsession has sunk to an unbelievable level where people are ready to spend few dollars to buy 'many' fake Instagram likes and followers. $0.89 for 100 likes, precisely.

Located in shopping centres across Russia are vending machines built to soothe you Insta-anxiety to get maximum likes and comments. Not just that, the machine, first spotted by journalist Vasily Sonkin and posted to Twitter by his colleague Alexey Kovalev also allows customers to take selfies, print photos straight from Instagram and sells fake followers and likes for VK — a popular social networking site in Russia.

Though some of you might already be planning a visit to get your hands on the vending machine, we have a  word of caution. As Snaptap explains, when people use the device it "automatically adds customer's in social networks (sic) and send requests to the client's friends."So basically, your Instagram account will start sending various advertisements to your current followers.
