It's kind of misleading as they are not new accounts, but just existing Instagram users.

Users aren’t just signing up: they’re posting, too. As of Thursday, my colleague Alex Heath reported that there have already been more than 95 million posts and 190 million likes shared on the app.

Even looking past the number of signups, that’s a lot of engagement in less than a week.

Also how many accounts are bots? Probably a large amount.
