Typical "instafamous" talent vacuum.....
I agree with all you say (although I do use Instagram). But it's not only just for mobiles or tablets. There is a instagram.com, where you can log in to your account and upload photos and comments (admittedly it's not completely straightforward, but it can be done without too much hassle).I hope someone is filling a lawsuit against mr photographer.
The sooner instagram falls under the better. Its a platform of the fake for the fake.
You need bots, and all sorts of unimaginable things to get noticed, and there is the dreaded algorithm, and awful mobile only interface. What more could I say?

Here's a link on how to use Instagram on a pc (i think it's the same with a mac).I didn't think you could post at all from the website? There are third party unsupported options, but not from Instagram's website?

Like I said in my post, it's not completely straightforward, but also not too long winded.

I use the Lightroom plugin (until it inevitably gets killed by Instagram) but I'll have a look at that video later. Thanks for that.
As long as it works it would be the most convenient option. I just remember one of the talks at the photography show where the speaker very strongly advocated against any third party solution. It supposedly exposes your login data to developer and / or hackers and some big names we were told had their accounts compromised in this way. If that could be the case the workaround in the video actually may be the the best compromise?
What can Instagram do which flickr can't do? Obviously Flickr has features (albums etc) which Instagram does not have. But does Instagram have any advantages apart from being more popular?I hope someone is filling a lawsuit against mr photographer.

Instagram is for the cool kids...
Flickr is the people who prefer quality over cool...
I guess the Magnum photographs I see on Instagram must be terrible then?
Glad to be of assistanceOkay - that is officially genius. Thank you. For 90% of my workflow, Lightroom plugins will work, but for the few times it's a jpg I've got lying around outside of Lightroom, that is so useful.

Flickr's a photograph platform with badly implemented social media features. Instagram is a social media platform which focuses on images (and now video). They're both fit for purpose, if they fit the purpose you need. I use them both, for different things.
Disgusting, lazy and amazing it took so long !
Surely these days a quick google image search would ousted him easily.
I do hope you are wrong, but I fear you maybe right.Apologies, I shall try not to use metaphors in future.
In short, Flickr is a dead platform - take a look at the analytics and demographical engagement.
I believe they are currently trialling clicking on posts to go to a brand's website to purchase the item. I think a few big brands are testing it, but guess it will water down to everyone. I'm guessing IG will want a percentage though.I think he meant the quality of image display, including sizes and desktop friendliness, and not about the quality of the images themselves. There are plenty of good and bad apples on each one.
Thanks Marisa for wrecking flickr's future. We pro photographers have reciprocal feelings towards you too.
IG is still missing a critical feature for me - external links that work on each and every photo. When I post something I want prospective buyers to be able to directly click through to that image on my own platform. The IG cleverly forces you to stay on their platform, just scrolling through and never exiting. I can't see how that's good for us. The big brands may only need to get their product image or their logo in front of people and IG does that well enough. But its not enough for me - in fact it does nothing if they don't follow to my site. You will tell me people can find link in profile. Err that's just one generic link and I doubt people can be even bothered to go looking.

In which case perhaps it is wiser to just start uploading new images to google Adwords instead. More reach and more profit for sure.
I remember when Instagram used to be purely phone photos and people actually posted their own work for others to admire rather than to make money.
I was actually quite popular with 7000 “followers”.... the. It all went downhill and became a popularity contest.
You should ask for your money back. Oh, wait....I've become disenchanted with Instagram too. I hate the new algorithm. I just want to see the most recent photos from the people I follow in time order and I want my followers to be able to do the same.

The biggest problem I have with Instagram is remembering to post and keeping photos in order and keeping track of what has been uploaded.
I try and vary the photos between different subject matter eg, aviation/wildlife/airbrushing/tattooing but I always end up loading blocks of the same thing depending on what im working on. There is no easy way to jumble photo's up on lightroom, or when in folders on a mac either from what I can see.
Never used the plug in, and would be concerned about login details being shared. From what I understand these big "hacking" events that occur are usually through the back door of some third party plug in.
