The way that Instagram/Facebook quickly block third party clients like this really make it obvious that they control what you see and how you use the platform. You do not have control of the content you see on Instagram. It is force fed to you to manipulate you according to which advertisers have paid for your attention.

I really wish the people who invest their time and energy into developing third party UIs for Instagram would spend their time instead developing UIs and front ends for open source and federated software. Someone build "Instagram for Nextcloud", please.
