WTF Instagram
10 years ago
I couldn't comment or message a guy on Instagram who uploaded my paintings; I had to file a DMCA right away. I usually warn them first myself so they don't get to have their account to a bad standing; I know many teens don't understand that uploading others works is unethical and hurts the artist, especially without crediting back. Hell I even leave credited reposts alone most of the time
The reason I couldn't comment? you can login on a PC, but not sign up.... W.T.F.
I don't have a phone? now what? whole Instagram is closed off to me because I otherwise don't need a smartphone?
I suppose I could somehow manage to trick the website into thinking I'm from an ipad or smth, but who's got time for that.
I'm just disappointed.
+I always feel bad for DMCA-ing people. :/ I know they didn't mean wrong.

Basically I downloaded Andy the Android Emulator.
(Originally this was so I could make a LINE account to chat with my friend who is in Japan.)
You're able to download Instagram on it, and you can sign up with your email, rather than your phone number.
From there, you can either comment via Instagram on Andy (though Andy runs really, really slow).
Or you can download an extension for Chrome/Firefox. And use that.
I do agree that it's asinine that you can sign up via the computer and all that.
Though I guess it's because Instagram is supposed to be for mobile snapshots and crap. B|
it's really dumb.
