TIL that 'hiding' your Instagram story views still leaves a trail in the archive

I was digging through my Instagram data download last night, the one they email you as a zip file, and found a folder called 'story_viewer_archive' that logs every single viewer even if you use the hide feature. It showed me who watched my story from 3 months ago, including my ex's burner account, which I thought I'd blocked. The funny part is I only learned this because I was trying to find a screenshot for a friend's drama post and stumbled onto it. Has anyone else found shady stuff buried in their data download that they weren't expecting?
