  Instagram is a full on ad platform and has been for a long time.

  They don’t slip into Instagram. They are invited in and shoved down the odious throat that still somehow use that garbage. Fuck meta.

  The fact that my Facebook timeline had become a pretty steady ratio of 1 ad:1 suggested post which is essentially an ad):1 post from either someone I follow, a group post from a group I’m in, or a post from an account that I liked or a few other ad-like types of posts, meant I only saw content I wanted on one or two posts out if every 20 or so posts in my timeline and I rarely saw important posts from friends. That was one of many reasons I left.
