Method
- Instagram highlights: each story was opened in the browser, its frame was drawn to a canvas, then several frames were placed side by side and screenshotted. The results are contact sheets in
assets/evidence/. - Video stories: the frame was taken at the middle of the video (at most at second 12), so it does not cover the whole video.
- Social media numbers: read from public profiles on the same date.
- Colors: measured from screenshots with Python (PIL), by grouping pixels with high saturation.
Limitations
Warning
- Story screenshots are low resolution and have gone through Instagram compression. The measured colors are estimates, not official brand values.
- About the first 60 items of the XS-2 highlight were read.
- No access to internal data (tickets, analytics, CRM).
- Media claims (for example "millions of viewers") were not independently verified.
