| Mods have changed the youtube link back to Instagram.

| I actually posted Instagram link first (the original source).
| Realized that it's not appearing the feed. I thought Instagram

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Eni5Uy9sgo with the comment

| Here's one that's working at the moment:

| IG has gotten very hostile in that way over the last year.
|
| If you scroll far enough on a user profile while logged out, a
| modal appears for a login. Remove that modal and keep scrolling
| and IG will begin 503'ing all served images to your IP for
| 24hrs.
|
| Coincidentally, I'm in a foreign country right now and IG
| "deactivated" my account (presumably because of the change in
| location). I had to send them a *photo of my face* to open a
| ticket about it. It's been a week now with no reply.
|
| That combined with the logged out hostility means I don't have
| an easy way to view anything on the platform. Maddening.

|
| Consider yourself lucky. Getting off from drugs is never
| easy, but in this case, you have support from your drug
| dealer that refuses to give you drugs any more.
