IPhone crybabies need to shut up about Instagram on Android

The last sentence of the article is my exact sentiment towards the article.

"So let’s put our energy towards worrying about more important things, shall we?"

I am not a fan of this type of news on HN.

The article makes perfect sense when you consider their target demographic. It's a very 'hipster-esque' app, targeting users in and around that demographic. There was a very popular YouTube video out of the UK that made fun of the whole demographic including the folks who go out and have 'new age fun with a vintage feel' on London fields (though the video references it as 'Polaroid app on my iPhone'). And the one thing we know about hipsters and those who want to be, they HATE it when what they like becomes 'mainstream'. Now, that's not to say that all Instagram users are hipsters. But, every single iPhone user whining about it Instagram being released for Android certainly is.

Is this for real? I get the feeling that whoever wrote that article fell for a bunch of trolls.

I find it difficult to believe this article. I can't imagine users caring that much since their experience isn't changing at all.

Kudos to instagram for its passionate following. Few startups have users who care so much.

Some great journalism there.
