📄 Description

During script initialization, show info around loading the two profiles. It's useful to show what is happening during just a long blank time when coming up. This details is also useful for people are seeing issues with keeping an account from being banned; any detail helps narrow things down.

In the runtime example, you can see that I have added two ways to show the data. It's your choice, or something else.
At Startup:

* Followers (188) actual (188) loaded from file 'instagram_XXX_followers.json' (01 Jan 26, 11:08)

* Followings (4269) actual (4269) loaded from file 'instagram_XXX_followings.json' (31 Dec 25, 20:17)
* Followings number changed by user XXX from 4269 to 4281 (+12)

* Getting followings ...
* Followings (4281) actual (4280) saved to file 'instagram_XXX_followings.json'
