The ads are a window into a blatantly illegal underground economy that Meta is not only failing to moderate, but is actively profiting from and injecting into users’ feeds.
I don’t use Instagram altogether, this isn’t about me. The main audience of Instagram (and other Meta platforms) are teens, whom you should not expose to such advertisements. Some are not tech literate and are capable of blocking Meta’s ads on a DNS level or with some other trickery. Look at the broader audience, this isn’t a “Me” post.
Yes, ignore the root problem and instead cover it with a bandaid solution.
If someone had a cut on their leg that had turned black and smelled like rancid meat, would you just tell them that no one should go out in public without pants and deodorant?
You sound like you didn’t read the article. This not about seeing ads or not, it’s about large corporations allowing and making profits off advertising criminal activities.
allowing and making profits off advertising criminal activities.
You mean the same ones that could be easily blocked by extensions so none of us would be talking about it right now and giving them more clicks? you clearly missed the point.
You sound like you love to see ads, otherwise why the fuck are you not blocking them using extensions?
You can’t block ads in a app. This should be common knowledge.
Joke is on you, stop using the app.
Instander.
Is that Homelander’s Instagram?
Hahahahaha, no lol. It’s a “fork” of instagram with some quality of life improvements (and no-ads)
You can just patch it

No relation to Instagram, this is about the internet as a whole, no one ever should be online without at least 5 adblocking extensions.

I didn’t miss the point, the point is not about seeing ads or not. Expand your thought process a bit.
