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 get it why and how they get away. I mean I do get it, but it’s astonishing the amount of the shit these big corporations get away with. They’re pretty much profiting from crime and nobody does anything against them.
I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don’t use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.

people still not blocking ads, use adblock!
If you use the app there’s no blocking it sadly. What people should start doing it’s stop using that platform all together
Pihole oughta do it.

ReVanced says they support removing timeline ads from Instagram. I don’t use Instagram, so I haven’t tested it, though.
