The instagram post:

Day 3 of posting approximately equal statements until everyone agrees we’ve gone too far

100≈103

Then a poll asks “have we gone too far?”
7% say yes
93% say no

The instagram post:

Day 4 of posting approximately equal statements until everyone agrees we’ve gone too far

100≈104

Then a poll asks “have we gone too far?”
22% say yes
78% say no
