Synthesized answer
The provided passages do not contain enough information to answer how Manovich connects the social network aspects of Instagram (e.g., likes, comments, followers) to the deeper meaning or impact of contemporary images. The only passage available [1] only lists "Instagram and Contemporary Image" as a title and categorizes it under "Online social networks," with no further details on its content. Therefore, it is not possible to determine Manovich's specific arguments or connections regarding these aspects.
