They might cry for a day or two, but they will forget it soon. Instagram is not a necessity, it is just another cool app, that's all.
It is not email, it is not SMS, it is not voice or browser, or car key finder etc. People will find some other site/app for their photos.
- ulisesrmzroche 13y agoI don't have a car key finder, I don't use SMS, I could care less about my computer talking to me. Honestly, I could dispense with email and just talk on facebook really, because most of my inbox are ads nowadays. Just like my mailbox outside. So all of these needs you have told me are not really anything I need at all. So how is it that we have too completely different experiences? Remember Maslow? Look at the hierarchy. Instagram is meeting the need of community, the photo sharing is a tool to meet that need. Same thing as Hacker News. We're both here to talk about this stuff, even though forums are a solved problem right? The world is not just about solving problems. That's actually the part people care the least about. Hence why you can solve the problem of writing code to make an app and get paid peanuts and why the 'Yet Another Photo Sharing App" is paying you to do it.
