Instagram vs Amazon

We know Instagram’s time is ticking as a social media platform, but I have a theory for what it’s trying to become. You ain’t slick, Zuckerberg.

Less than one year ago, Instagram introduced the Shopping tab… and it wasn’t subtle by any means. They moved the Activity tab and the Post button to the nosebleed section – two components that were once most essential to the platform.

So what’s going on? I believe that Instagram is trying to compete heavily with Amazon.
