I do miss Share2Steem as I’m much more an Instagram user than Twitter... Any chance you have plans down the road to fill that void and link into Instagram as well?

Yeah, we have been considering that, but it wouldn't be in the short term future.
For now, we are focused on:
And rolling out some new features that Twitter and other micro-blogging services lack.
I think that's the right priorities, but good to hear it's under consideration. It obviously seems like the technology would be excellent to port to other interfaces down the line.
As far as rewards, I say let them fall where they may. If short form content captures the most users and attention then it deserves the rewards. When working the best, Hive should mirror the broader internet and "real world" in terms of the opportunities and ownership it can offer. Unfortunately people have a sense of "fairness" that doesn't exist anywhere... and probably never will on Hive either. A Kardashian can post a photo of their ass with a strategically placed product in the background and earn far more money than someone publishing a research paper encapsulating three years of work that makes advances in treating and curing cancer. That's life.
I think an abundance and variety of content like this can force people to rethink and abandon auto voting which could be a good cultural shift, and I say that as someone who uses auto voting!
If we build a large and strong community on HIVE, I think we will be able to have more say in rewards, but for now, we need to fall in line with the culture and current power structure of HIVE . . otherwise our users would suffer from unnecessary flagging and their rep scores would also be affected.
Excellent point @bryan-imhoff and well said!
