I thought this had already been happening for quite some time?
In my experience, I was no longer able to browse without an account on either my laptop or my mobile device for a few months now

A more accurate title would probably be (this is conjecture) "Instagram expands loginwall to other countries, eg Brazil"
Another user here thought the post was about that scrolling limit that's in place for a few months now. That's different. I wasn't able, previous to publication, to confirm if this is happening in other countries, but here in hacker news there are more users reporting the same issue.
But maybe you are right, maybe you are part of some kind of A/B test to see if an immediate loginwall, with no trial or sample, increases or decreases sign ups.
I also checked with friends and relatives living in another cities in Brazil. They also hit that form when trying to access photos unlogged.
