So basically they're saying it's the user's fault for not having a better ad algorithm. That's amazingly poor thinking.

Approved Bots
I’ve stopped reporting obvious scams / spam on instagram because something like 19 out of 20 reports get ignored or denied
They're also pretty cool with Nazi's now too, Meta is a garbage company
Translation: These ads make us lots of money.
Each time I see "Meta's product didn't remove reported malicious post" I just think that this is valid punishment for user and their ego for wasting their time on these shitty platforms. 😅
Oh hey another site that looks at reports and just bans the reporter....
Instagram owned by the Reddit people?
You still using Instagram! In 2024
I guess I am the only who thought that everyone has moved on from Instagram.
Where did the people that use instagram move to?
As a photographer I have tried every alternative I'm aware of. Insta is still king for image sharing, which is... Nuts, to say the least.
I'd also love to hear where they supposedly moved to.
There's pixelfed, but you're unlikely to get a following there.
Pixelfed presumably
Or alternately nowhere because people who use Instagram care even less about big tech big brother than people who use Reddit

Instagram is a cancerous cesspit.
I’ve been reporting ads on Instagram as spam for over a year now. Every single ad I see gets reported. Occasionally I get a report that says the ad has been deleted.
Had to double check if it was the onion...
Man. I blocked them with my pihole because I got tired of max volume jump scares whenever I clicked on a link to their. Guess it's staying blocked indefinitely.
