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.

What do you mean? The whole point is that I can search Instagram here without an account.

When you find something that looks interesting, what then?
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.
Since the advent of web 2.0, people often interact with media in more ways than looking at its thumbnail.
