Instagram is locking me out of viewing profiles. Entirely. I tried different browsers, private window, VPN — nothing. All I get is their screen prompting me to log in or create an account (sorry, hard pass, Zuckerberg).
I wish more people would understand that they're contributing to an exclusive walled garden that is largely restricted from public view, and that they have forfeited control of the visibility of their photos (and videos) to some corporate overlord.
