Times that don't match
Every Instagram post id has its creation time built in, set by Instagram's servers. For 2,388 posts it agrees with the listed time to within an hour, usually to the second. For these 6 it doesn't. We list them without drawing a conclusion.

How it was read
A logged-in browser opened the profile and replayed Instagram's own request for the next page of posts, one page of twelve at a time, back to the first post, with pauses between pages. For each post we kept only the post code, the listed time, the time in the post id, the collaborators Instagram lists, and the accounts its caption credits with @. Nothing else, and no pictures or video. The profile showed 2,506 posts on October 15; 2,394 came through. The rest may be posts kept off the grid; we have not checked.
