    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?
