Final #TOYSREVILTop9for2021 (for 2.2K+ to 3.8K+ LIKES on Instagram)
WHAT-IS: After failing constantly on dedicated "Top/Best 9" apps, I had decided instead to manually look thru each+every image upload on my Instagram (for the year of 2021), and eyeballed the stats, screen-grabbed them, and formatted them into 9-grids ... and THESE ARE THE RESULTS, cheers.
In this blog-feature today for #TOYSREVILTop9for2021, I will be showcasing LIKED-images on Instagram for 2.2K+ to 3.8K+, hereby ending this serial feature.
The total-count is down from last year's stats (whose Max LIKES came in at "6.4K"). I have not paid for visibility, nor have I attempted to artificially inflate viewership, and have no tangible proof that my stream's visibility has been somewhat restricted/restrictive, or could be just me grasping at amber straws. Be that as it may, it is still Full Boar Ahead, and interestingly the TOP images on 2021 was NOT OF A TOY... hhhmm....
