Reason Behind It
All this happens because of Facebook-owned firm Instagram controversial T&C change to sell users’ photographs without payment or notification.
The T&C if Instagram says “you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.”
