Instagram is making it easier for people to shop inside its app. Today, it's starting to widely roll out a dedicated Shop page under the Explore tab that'll highlight different brands and items that people can purchase. The Shop page will also give users personalized recommendations on things to buy, with everything being able to be purchased from within the app.
Combined, these features make shopping on Instagram more seamless, especially when it comes to paying. People don't have to exit Instagram or constantly reenter their payment information to buy something, which has previously presented a major hurdle for buyers. Instagram charges a selling fee for purchases made over Instagram, so it has set itself up to increasingly profit off those sales as shopping become more popular on the app.
This may worth something:

LETTERS: Mask- free shopping; Trump won more states - The Monitor
I'm a senior citizen and a fulltime caregiver. I need to stay well. My only outing is grocery shopping once a week. I look forward to it.
Yet, I am scared in the store because of people who are not wearing masks. I try to avoid them, but should I have to skirt around other one-way aisles or come back to the deli later after they've gone and the air has hopefully cleared?
One day there were several reps from management touring one store (I won't say where) and I spoke with them. I asked if they can't make masks mandatory and explained my concern. They were most cordial and understanding and explained that it's a very controversial subject.
