On Instagram the poster matters, on Reddit the poster does not. This means it's completely different. A random made-up user on Instagram will have no audience, a random made-up user on Reddit will. Additionally, Instagram has an opportunity to form a relationship with the popular users and can control their accounts in specific if it wishes.
