When it first started it was brilliant it was more about the photography. Now every man and his dog uses it and I have to admit, i started to dislike it with the likes of some celebrities using it. When privacy gate came out, I quickly jumped overboard and exported my pictures, deleted my account. Now I have a really awesome Windows 8 phone and I’m extremely grateful the app is not available on that platform. They have many other great apps instead.

I’m into street photography. I really don’t if the “other party” use my
photos commercially. I just want to know can the person(s) in my
photo(s) can SUE me or the “other party” or both ?

I received an email today from Instagram. I forgot I had an account (that’s how much I used it). Used that as an opportunity to delete it. It’s clear where they want to go with it and I don’t want to be a part of it. I might as well delete it now so I can be appart of that statistic. Glad to see Flickr is getting some work done too. It’s nice to have my pictures of value in one place. I don’t really mind putting snapshots on facebook to share with friends though.

I’ve quit since the privacy gates, and, to connect with the article, i think that a lot of “pro” did the same, the community is still enlarging, but for more amateurs i guess … all the people who don’t really care about the destination of their private pictures because they don’t consider they are valuable ( and for most of the, they are right to think so :) )

Flickr and Instagram are not similar services at all, and as a photographer I would never use instagram to store and share my pictures as I do with flickr.

Yes I’ll keep using it further. I’m on there since April 2012 @mkorbit. It’s a great app, very intuitive ui and a friendly community. Ok spam is a problem but I think it got better. Love to see what others are photographing with smartphones (if it’s not their feet, food or pets).

Of course, been using it for about 2 years now @the_gris and its not just a stupid filter effects app. Its the whole ecosystem and user friendly UI that I find attractive about it. Not to mention the fast take, edit and post to multiple social networks. Combined with multiple other apps to create a little edgier and more custom shots outside of the usual filters I have been using primarily VSCO, Camera Awesome, Blender, Frametastic, Phonto and Snapseed. It really has become a great little tool to help broaden my photography outside of the DSLR and get me thinking constantly because well I always have my phone on me.

I’m still using it! Tried flickr, as all my Instagram friends jumped ship to it, for a minute but I really just dislike so many things about flickr, that I ended up sticking with Instagram. In fact, since the T.O.S. fiasco, I feel like I actually have a more tight knit group of people that are dedicated to posting, collaborating, and making it a strong community than before.
