What do you mean nothing topic related to see? It's literal first hand videos from Shanghai, and the topic of this post is "An Account of the Shanghai Lockdown". What would make it more on topic? View their stories. These people post videos everyday from inside Shanghai, since this is a post about accounts of Shanghais handling of Covid, I figured there may be others interested in seeing these.
Ok, maybe don't click Instagram links if you don't use Instagram and then complain because the links don't work? lol Millions of people do (and I assume many HNers do) and given this post, may be interested in seeing some videos from people first hand in Shanghai. There are many other comments in here with awesome info that you can easily scroll past this one that's irrelevant to you and consume info in a way that works for you. I'm offering another type of data that may work and be of interest to others. To call it "spam" because you can't view it is very concerning.
I agree, it's dumb you have to have an Instagram account to use Instagram. Sadly it's been like that for years now.
Fair enough, I don't think we need to clog this up anymore. If people use Insta and are curious to see these videos they can, but if not they can move on.
