Deleted my account after Cambridge analytica story broke out. It was fun when it was about photography. It really boost my interest and made me experiment and move on to DSLR and mirrorless eventually etc. But with sponsored ads and less and less people interested in photography, I didn’t feel I was missing much.

I can at least confirm that I've been getting 503 errors on Instagram.
Yesterday it was Netflix, and today Instagram...

From my seat, it's certainly been an interesting two weeks putting out fires across the globe.
