When is the last time you've bought a physical newspaper?
They are often lined up in such a way that you can compare headlines of several publications without even touching any of them.
And if that's actually the reason, then why should only kids be privy to this? None of this is actually that new, imho it's a very similar dynamic to that whole "MSM is fake-news, that's why I get all my news from Facebook groups" trend.
But instead of Facebook (which is where by now only "old people" hang out), these kids use Instagram, which happens to be the social media platform of choice for their range of age because it's literally a Facebook product rebranded to do exactly that: Appeal to a younger audience.
