Not terribly surprising after seeing WhatsApp Inc. founder Jan Koum quit Facebook over a disagreement about privacy and advertising earlier this year. And for those of us who use and enjoy Instagram , we could see Facebook 's advertising fingerprints suddenly all over the UX. From the sharp increases in the volume of oddly targeted ads by wannabe influencers to the increasing monetization of Stories, so this seemed inevitable. I don't hate on the fact that Facebook is an ads business and as such needs to make that model work for everything they make or buy (not an endorsement on their allowance of data use by 3rd parties though nor their "we just created it" shrug to handling bad actors). Nor do I hate on Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger for leaving. I'm just going to miss the Instagram of old. #socialmedia #facebook #instagram #startups #whatsapp …see more
