I am an engineer and to me, Instagram is a mystery.
Why would I zap into this flood of images? I am already bombarded by images all the f...... time. If anything I could need a service to remove images from the web.
Why would I want to look at even more images of beautiful people at beautiful places eating beatifully photographed food? Is it intended for some kind of mental masturbation? Looking at it and imagining being in that place, being that person, eating that food?
Why am I so totally uninterested in it, while millions seem to like it?
For the same reason that you like things that other people don't. People are different and like different things. Some people like sharing their own images and following images from people/companies they like.
Some people don't. It's not a great mystery. People enjoy different things.

How about other HN readers?
