This article is just okay, low on both learning and entertainment value. The title makes it seem like Instagram is way ahead of the curve when it comes to improving engagement on the internet, but none of the technology discussed in the article seemed particularly innovative. Even in conceptual terms, Instagram doesn't seem to have a clear vision for how to "clean up the internet" or what that even means and why it matters in the first place.
Ironically, the article made me think that Instagram apparently DID give up the ability to innovate when it sold itself to FB.
mehh...
