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 tried that. Got it installed with default settings and looked no different. Half my feed is suggested bullshit.

      How does that do anything for the problem the author writes about, though? They’re not complaining about their own feed being spammed with this stuff, they’re complaining that it’s so rampant in the first place and that Meta does little to nothing to prevent it.

        Nothing, but hopefully it’s helpful for anyone that reads it

          How would Revanced help with IG ads? (Sincere question - I’m occasionally on IG and the ads are obnoxious. )

            Of course, there are patches for many apps now. I’ll attach a screenshot:

            The specific patch, which is the only one you should be using normally, is to remove ads from Instagram.
