Please post your demography, age, what your social network looks like. We can discuss from there why you're using instagram instead of snapchat :)

Teenagers don't have money but they have drive purchasing decisions within a family.

"once they know that Instagram has more users and more eyes" >> Advertisers just don't look at raw numbers. They advertise over a target audience. US, age, gender, mobile phone users: 18-24. Snapchat got a generation of users which facebook/instagram is not able to get. FB and instagram is using their demographics which is not at all important to manipulate snapchat stock price.

If advertisers are paying more money just for some random views, then ad industry has some serious issues and it's not called effective advertising.
