I can barely imagine the price that information and access would have garnered if sold to a less reputable entity. In the end, $2,500 for access to all of Instagram's code and static content is a complete rip-off.
This post fell in rank because it was flagged by users. We turned the flags off but by that time a repost was already at #1.
We've recently started doing things to make the original submitter get the front-page slot more often, but it's kind of tricky to do in this case, so I guess we'll leave it. Sorry ulysses!
Yet another instance of Facebook presenting one position externally, that is incompatible with their internal thinking (for all but the most hairsplitting, lawyer-driven definitions of incompatible).
I wonder if it's internal disagreement, arrogance, or just the folly of such a young staff. Anyway, I begrudgingly await their shit-polishing response that acts as if they don't have a horrendous track record. At least it'll be good for a laugh.
