Clearly, they all are bots. I feel like on IG there are more bots than real humans now (even after July 2019 crackdown).

I think Nada Dada is right, every IG account will randomly get followed by bots to make those bot accounts look more natural by following multiple and different ones.https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/nana-dada.1187686/

I remember I was actually really surprised when I had what seemed like a real human comment on one of my posts, that's how bad things are now. I'm actually a bit glad that there will be less bots on Instagram due to all those changes they introduced. After all Instagram was made for humans to have fun, wasn't it?

My best guess is that IG has successfully cracked down on the story viewing bots.
While this can be a short-term blow to your brand metrics (and maybe your self-esteem too), this is a great move for the long-term. Why? Because fake bot views don’t contribute any value to your business. In fact, the lack of genuine engagement from these views could even have a negative impact on your Instagram algorithm ranking.

Doesn't sound like you have an organic following that finds your content engaging
