You sound like you love to see ads, otherwise why the fuck are you not blocking them using extensions?
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.
No relation to Instagram, this is about the internet as a whole, no one ever should be online without at least 5 adblocking extensions.
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.
I didn't miss the point, the point is not about seeing ads or not. Expand your thought process a bit.
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
The post title is the title of the article, where an investigative journalist intentionally manipulates the algorithm to produce this result. If he used an ad blocking extension, he'd be unable to hold Meta accountable for what they are doing.
So maybe calm down about that given the context, and perhaps establish the context before you decide to click reply.
