    Maybe this is explained somewhere if I could be bothered to research it, but how can he be actually illiterate?

    He has an instagram account. How is he reading anything to do with it if he’s illiterate? Sub numbers, password resets, comments? How would he even know people are watching if he can’t read numbers?

      Illiteracy is not binary. If he reads at a second grade level (sounding out, length of word and difficulty of spelling being barriers to correct reading)
