So they crippled a better performing product to protect a lesser product - or rather to protect some egos. I refuse to believe they are that stupid.
The introduction of the article discuss the title, then it detours to analyze social media, Twitter, Russia, China. Looks like 3/4 social media articles stitched together
"The Interface is a daily column about the intersection of social media and democracy. Subscribe to the newsletter here."
The headline is the leading story and the final paragraph before "Democracy" brings the story to a close.

Facebook app probably has better ad revenue potential? I just opened up instagram and scrolled through for a bit and I didn’t see a single ad. Seems very different from the Facebook experience.
I don't know which Instagram you're using, but every two or three posts for me is an ad. The "second person's story" when watching stories is an ad. Instagram has, by far, more ads than any other app that I use.
I'm surprised there is not one mention of the word "vesting" in the entire article. Systrom left six years after the acquisition (likely full vested) and shortly after returning from paternity leave.
A 6 year vesting schedule would be highly unusual. AFAIK it’s usually 2 (or maybe up to 4) years after an acquisition. Therefore I don’t think that this was a factor in his decision.

If you don't care about notifications uninstall the app and use the web interface in a browser. It's not quite as slick and responsive as the app, but I've never seen an ad there.
