The whole pic culture thing- if you go on Grindr, especially in a big city, trust me- you're going to get endless first messages with such photos. Many times before a greeting. Obviously, it's known as more of a quick hook-up app but almost all of the gay apps are the same even if your profile suggests you are looking for friends or dates. I know that Tinder has even started to skew that way as well. Obviously, photos within the app itself aren't a thing but I know plenty of people that get to that level as soon as texting or 'what's your Instagram?' begins. And trust me, in the younger circles, it is ALL about Instagram and people ask for that way before they'd even think to ask for a phone number.
Snapchat, IIRC since the beginning, has had an option for photos that disappear after viewing one time. Instagram followed a few years ago. Obviously you know why the majority of people are using this feature. It's not anything new.
