"[...] help ensure their time is well spent."

I struggle to think of time on Instagram being well spent. Perhaps less badly spent?

Also I wonder how they'll do age verification and "parent" verification, might end up being very trivial for most teens to work around the restrictions using secondary accounts. Thinking about it, the policy might be more for show than anything else.

There are a lot of people that use Instagram to follow artists for inspiration for art. This seems like a pretty good way to spend time.

In my opinion the addiction cost likely outweighs the benefit in this particular example, especially since there are so many other less addictive ways to get inspiration for art.

Agree, the price is too high for 30 seconds of actual inspiration per week.
