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 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.
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.
