I can't think of anything more pathetic and useless than someone complaining about the quality of instagram photos....

SOLVED

Email has a limit on the size of images which affects quality (depending on your email provider) so that's likely the issue. Pull out your phone and download the app. Not difficult. Phone vs computer is still similar in terms of disconnecting from reality so not sure why you're using that as a reason.

I've never used a laptop to upload pics to instagram but considering all the mindblowingly crisp photos that nat geo photographers upload from real cameras, I assume they use a laptop.

Why are you emailing photos? That's possibly the worst thing you can do. Instead, Plug the SD card into your computer and copy the files to your hard drive. Then upload them. If you don't have a slot for an sd card, I bet they make USB adapters for that. If you don't have any of those ports then you need a new laptop because it sucks.

Also gopro photos are quite shit quality in general. Get a camera. Go pros are only useful for film

I’d recommend a floppy disc. They are much larger so they can clearly hold much more at a better quality.

This thread makes me want to fly into Mexico, color my skin brown and try to enter the U.S. illegally so I can be locked up in a migrant detention center without food, water or enough room to lay down on the cold concrete floor.
