He's not completely wrong though. Instagram was a photo service when it started. The focus was on photography. Interesting pictures of things happening in the moment. It was about taking the best picture you could in the moment and being forced to post it.
I'm not even sure I'd call Instagram as a photo service anymore. The original core functionality (using it as a digital polaroid and applying a filter) doesn't even seem to be something people use at all anymore. I'm not even sure the majority of the posts are even photos—what between the random images with text above them, screenshots, and the videos.
Instagram was a photo service in a sea of other photo services. Now it's a generic social network where you just post whatever.
