【Bawdy Tales of Edo: Octopus & Sea Shell】

This is Bawdy Tales of Edo: Octopus & Sea Shellwhere humanity has sunk to: a vending machine for fake Instagram likes.

If you're in downtown Moscow, you might want to pick up a few hundred (or thousand) likes to boost your self-esteem, from this machine.

Russia takes the worst excesses of capitalism to the extreme, so here's a vending machine in a mall for buying Likes for your Instagram pics pic.twitter.com/ZZt189opgd

The machine, which is located at an upscale shopping mall near the Red Square in Moscow, was spotted by journalist Vasily Sonkin, and later posted on Twitter by his colleague Alexey Kovalev.

For just $0.89, you can get yourself 100 fake Instagram likes on your brand new picture.

But if you're looking to splash out, $850 will buy you 150,000 followers -- who are guaranteed to deliver up to 1,500 likes per post.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Buying fake followers is not all this machine can do, by the way.

It also takes selfies and prints Instagram photos, so you can even print out your picture IRL to commemorate your newfound fame.

According to Kovalev, the machine is available in several places across Moscow and has even spread to other cities. He also added that Sonkin would be going back soon to check out the machine in action.

Now everyone can be an influencer.
