I don’t see how taking openly licensed content and charging for it, would restrict access to that content. In the Instagram example, they are looking for ways to monetise the content – but the content is still owned by you – access isn’t restricted.

While not without its problems the CC-NC licence does enable content creators to make a legitimate stand against the commodification and monetisation of their work if they so wish. To me it is more discriminatory to allow commercial vendors to take openly licensed content and charge for it, thereby restricting access to that content.

Does that make me an idealist?

I don’t buy the idea that the revised terms were not properly thought through and should have been worded better. The revised terms were (in my view) deliberately broadly worded and could have been used to exploit photos in the way some complained about.
