It's easy to tell on an individual basis if an Instagram account has something screwy going on.

- Check comments to followers ratio. - Check comment quality (are people tagging friends or leaving generic/spam "great pic" comments?). - Follow the account and turn on post notifications. By doing this you'll see how many spammy ads they post then delete an hour later. Many of these posts will have fake social proof on them.
