Instagram comment spamming

Has anyone noticed this new trend with Instagram competitors? Tagging the same person/s multiple times (and I mean hundreds)  in the lead up to the completion,  so their comment feed is flooded with entries. 
I've seen a few people doing it recently and they seem to always win. Feels so disheartening when you follow the rules but never win.
