It just feels weird to have results from a walled off website on a search engine, unless we specifically indicate that we have an account on this website. Similar to how we don't like submissions to paywalled articles on HN.

Is that a philosophical question? I look at the picture, think "interesting" and move on. I don't use Instagram so you should probably ask someone who does what the intrinsic motivation for looking at Instagram photos is.
