Instagrams CEOS that are also its founders, just quit.
Rather abruptly, actually.
And there are a lot of rumors flying around as to why.
The main consensus is that facebook, the company that owns instagram, might be wanting to make
changes to instagram that the instagram founders did not agree with.
They hated these changes so much that they quit, so they must have been pretty brutal.
From this point on, instagram is going to me much more controlled by facebook execs,
and that means that huge changes, terrible changes, could be coming to instagram.
I'm going to tell you everything you need to know, right now on IO.
What is good, this is inform overload where we tell you about everything that's happening
in internetland.

Before I get into this video, tell me what your favourite social media app is down below
in those comments.
Instagram started with 13 employees and grew to over 1 thousand employees and more than
a billion users.
Instagram's founders, kevin systrom and Mike Krieger have just announced that they
are leaving the company that they built into one of the most popular social media apps
in the world.
The announcement was completely unexpected.
AS you know, instagram was bought by facebook 6 years ago, and it is normal for founders
of companies to step down once their company is acquired by another, but instagram was
the exception to that rule.
Until now.
On Monday September 24th, instagrams founders announced they were stepping down and they
gave no explanation as to why.
To make matters a little more confusing, Mark zuckerburg is someone who usually pays tribute
to high up executives of the company when they leave.
But in response to the change, he did not say much.
He gave a really short statement that wasn't published on facebook or, more notably, his
instagram account.
So why did instagrams founders leave?
At this time its not exactly certain why they left, they gave no explanation but according
to multiple reports, it couldbe that Systrom and Krieger had a major falling out with the
people at facebook and their involvement of instagram.
It could be that facebook wants to make some changes to instagram that the founders did
not agree with.
This was probably not something that happened abruptly, it was likely a problem that kept
coming up, and the founders decided that they had enough.
Now, For the first time in instagrams history, it will be under new leadership.
At this time, no one knows who's gonna replace the former CEO and CTO.
According to Recode and the wall street journal, pointed out the recent change where if you
share a photo from instagram to facebook, there is no reference to instagram on the
facebook post.
It used to say something like, shared from instagram, but that's not the case anymore.
What does this mean for the future of instagram?
Well word on the street is, facebook and instagram are going to become much more integrated.
As you know, facebook is more about your friend network, instagram is about following brands,
artists and celebrities and getting daily updates on them.
The first way facebook could ruin instagram is by forcing users to see more posts from
your immediate network, like the lame boring stuff your aquaintences post, rather than
the stuff you actually want to see.
Another way facebook could ruin instagram is by making it too complicated.
One of the things that makes instagram so great is it's a simple app.
Yeah, I loved the addition of stories as a feature, that was a really smart move and
it makes me use the app more, but honestly, its already getting increasingly more complicated
with each passing year.
Like I mean instagram tv, does anyone actually use that feature?
I definitely don't but anyway.
And of course, perhaps the worst change of all, is that instagram could become absolutely
overrun with ads.
Sometimes I see ads that are so irrelevant…I think I got a sponsored post in my feed from
some random couple that got married.
Someone just wanted everyone in Toronto to see that their friends got married and so
they paid to sponsor the post.
Like man I don't want to see that, no offence.
Facebook has gotten a really bad rep over the last year, less and less people trust
facebook and less and less people are using facebook.
Instagram is an app that has managed to stay scandal free.
Lets hope they don't screw up instagram too.
