Been taking a break from instagram haven't opened for weeks, today they email me telling me to OPEN IT
showing previews of some of the 's I'm missing since the alerts that someone has posted for the first time in a while or someone I MIGHT know is on there, haven't worked
Makes me even less interested now to go back, are they really worried about loosing one cutomer
