It's actually totally creative.</p> <p>To the original question: yes this happens to me, I get tagged in spam posts and it's so annoying. I block the users so that they can't continue to tag me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2286038 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 18:38:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2286038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: bahaha omg too funny. Where do they find the clothes for Barbie?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2286035 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 18:35:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 2286035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's a satire IG in which a hipsterly Barbie does hipsterly stuff. It's good for a giggle. @socalitybarbie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2286033 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 18:31:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2286033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @raspberries: ugh if your profile is private then strangers shouldn't be able to tag you!</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: lol what is this hipster Barbie?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285791 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:10:35 +0000 BananaPancakes 2285791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: Absoultely. I crave an authentic life. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285733 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:41:03 +0000 raspberries 2285733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happened to me too! I liked a photo on a friends public Instagram account, and every single person who liked the photo was tagged in some kind of ad for weight loss. I think they just copied the list and put "@" in front of each username. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285728 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:38:08 +0000 ineebee 2285728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Totally worth it, though, right? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285725 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:32:09 +0000 BananaPancakes 2285725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: I bet that's how it happens. And I just started following hipster Barbie this weekend, so now I'm waiting for the tagging to start. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285721 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:28:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2285721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happened to me too just this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285698 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:02:54 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2285698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: probably from people who want you to like their product, which is likely similar to a brand you follow? Often after I follow a new company I have a bunch of brands try to follow me! </p> <p>I haven't been tagged yet though. Seems like an odd way to get business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285682 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:54:56 +0000 ineebee 2285682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Couldn't it also be that they find your profile from the followers list of a popular, public Instagram account? I started getting random follow requests after I started following Socality Barbie. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285679 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:51:55 +0000 .twist. 2285679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: huh. Well then, that stumps me. I don't know much about the ins and outs of instagram so that was my best guess! I don't understand why or how it happens. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285672 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:45:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2285672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: from what I understand, even though I use hashtags because my profile is private only my followers see my posts under that hashtag. I think they're finding my username via other public posts that I post in. I just don't understand why they can even tag me if they don't follow me and vice versa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285667 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:43:07 +0000 .twist. 2285667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing has happened to me. I've been tagged in people's posts which I am clearly not in and do not know them. </p> <p>I think they find our usernames from our hashtags. Possibly tagging people from those hashtags to get more followers? </p> <p>This is all I've come up with so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-tagging#post-2285661 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:35:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2285661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I've noticed that strangers are tagging me in public posts. My profile is private and the posts I'm being tagged in aren't users I follow nor have I posted in. What gives? </p>
