I don't have an account myself, and the photos and videos I'm trying to download en masse belong to a famous person's public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it's not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?

Thank you!

Is it really creeping if the profile is public? Same thing as checking it daily with your Instagram account, but without the privacy issues

Checking in daily and viewing all their pics and videos does still feel like creeping yeah haha

It is creeping. If your neighbor goes outside in public and you stare at her from your window blinds, with the lights out just so you can see her ankles twice a day. Yes, she is in public and you are only looking, but the obsession is not normal behavior.

This instagram user is not just outside the public. They are not just a random person walking on the street, but someone who has printed pictures of themselves on paper and glued it to lamp posts and bus stops. They decided to do that, despite it not being needed for access to the platform, and also they decided that the content should be accessible publicly.

Thanks for the psychological evaluation!
