Whichever devs implemented the Instagram behaviour ought to have their computer taken off them.
100% the worst experience.
“Oh you don’t have the app? No big deal, let’s (maybe) play the video anyway but remove the audio, obscure half the screen, and make any interaction redirect and then bounce to the App Store. Why won’t you download our app already????”

- alex1138 1mo agoI've been told Zuckerberg - as opposed to murdering competition in the crib, despite him being ON RECORD IN EMAILS as saying 'they can hurt us' - bought a company that was barely anything. It "had 12 employees" or whatever. How they've "grown it" or whatever. Not what I see. I see it as competition killing. People really liked IG... in 2012. Now it's a poster child (or is that Whatsapp?) for antitrust
- sfn42 1mo agoI don't use IG but my girl does and she likes to show me things. She does use the app and it drives me absolutely nuts how she tries to show me a video or image and I can't actually see/read the main point of it because there's a million gizmos (buttons etc) in the way that seem like they can't be hidden. Like actually 30% of the video is obscured by this pointless crap.
