I'm going to come across like an old guy with this question. But what exactly is Instagram?
I thought it was a platform where people just posted pictures, mostly of themselves. But reading a BBC article it appears its projected to overtake Twitter as a news source.
Instagram 'will overtake Twitter as a news source'

So who has an Instagram account here? And what do you do with it?
I don't see how Instagram can be a news source.
Access to news continues to become more distributed. Across all countries, just over a quarter (28%) prefer to start their news journeys with a website or app. Those aged 18–24 (so-called Generation Z) have an even weaker connection with websites and apps and are more than twice as likely to prefer to access news via social media. Across age groups, use of Instagram for news has doubled since 2018 and looks likely to overtake Twitter over the next year.
Why do people like posting lot of pictures of themselves?
In fact, Instagram is a good platform for inspiration. I really like to follow the art of many photographers.
Overtaking Twitter as a news source doesn’t make it a good news source!
That’s like saying Burger King is going to overtake McDonalds as a source of gourmet cuisine!
