A comment on Tell HN: Instagram demands I send a picture of myself to prove I own my account. Parent comment
It's a primary communication tool.
I also do a lot of photography and it's the place to show my work (at least if I remotely want and real reach).
Many people use Instagram for their business too, as it's the best way to reach their audience.
For the newer generation it's a mandatory tool for social validation. Not defending that it's good. But it is what it is.
