I had turned auto-update off ahead of the new instagram UI update because I prefered the look of the old Instagram. I'm now glad that I did. I don't need stories slowing down the experience, taking up more real estate, or eating more bandwidth. I don't mean to be cynical, but I think Instagram as a product has peaked. Their core functionality was perfect, and in many ways, the product only gotten worse as they've rolled out updates (prioritized feeds, sending DMs by default when you @ people, ...). Instagram hasn't rolled something out in a long time that's made me "wow," which is too bad, because it was my favourite social network not that long ago. I'd be very annoyed if I had any personal stake in the company.
