Why is Instagram so popular?
I ask because I just tried to create an account to see what all the fuss was about. It didn’t like the usernames I was putting in and then it kept saying “something has gone wrong, try again later”. Then when I tried again later it said I had already connected my facebook (even though facebook said no) and just put me in this endless loop of login-create account over and over.
Annoyed I tried a different email and username. It kept saying “something has gone wrong” so I left it and did as it suggested and “tried again later”. Now it is saying both accounts have been created but they have been disabled for breaking the terms of service.
I would dearly love to know how I can break the terms of service just trying to sign up – I haven’t even logged in yet!
Also I was doing all of this on the PC which I thought would be less buggy than an app. I did download the app as it seemed to be the only way to get any support and I filled in the “I think you’ve made a mistake form” although at this point I just want them to let me delete it and I can pretend this whole adventure never happened.
Seriously why do people like instagram if you can’t even create an account?

You have got to be fucking kidding me?
I got an automated response to my “you’ve made an error” and they want a picture of me with my face? Like seriously?!?! I haven’t even used the damn account and I wouldn’t put my face on it anyway. It even says that in this stupid automated thing, that it doesn’t matter if there are no pictures of you on the account, but that they have to have it anyway.
This is complete lunacy.
Seriously I am flabbergasted. This makes zero sense. All I was doing was trying to create an account. I’m speechless really in how stunned I am.
Google reckons Instagram is worth about $100 billion. That much and somebody who is reasonably tech savvy can’t create an account. I’m stunned, really I am, and also they are not getting a picture of my face. Ok they have two of my emails on their blacklist but I will live with that. It’s not like I was doing anything wrong, I was just trying to create an account.
Post Three (5:20pm)
Ok I’m sorry I know this is my third post but I’m just ???? at Instagram.
I googled and it suggested I tried the “I forgot my password” login link to gain access to the account. I put in the email and it said “no account exists” so I tried the username and it said “no account exists” but if I use those details on the create account page it says “no already in use”
Like there is no winning with this stupid service.
I’m really thrown. My cousins all use instagram constantly and I was curious. Now I’m just pissed off. I honestly can’t believe that service is so popular and yeah I’m going to stop ranting now. I know this is my third post about it. I just can’t believe the… *deep breath* I will stop, I’m sorry.
