I would pay Facebook $3/mo to use Instagram w/o ads.
@mathowie I may be cursing myself but I still have never been shown an ad on instagram 🤭
@mathowie The ads I see on IG have gone over the cliff and are driving me insane. Face lifts, cosmetic surgery, hair dye to cover grey... I get it, I’m aging, but WTF? As a young woman you see ads for skinny white women in bras and panties. As a older woman I’m seeing ads to ensure that I comply with some batshit insane beauty standard.
@hchamp I get a weird mix of Kickstartered gadgets I don’t need and outdoor adventure nonsense.
@mathowie @hchamp My Insta ads currently look like a Pinterest board of things for our house. Which is better than the bunch of weird Kickstarter stuff I was getting before.
@boogah @mathowie I was getting Kickstarter stuff in between skinny white bra ladies and current crone cohort. I’ve found that if I refresh my feed, I get an ad after the first image. I wish I could give IG money to stop the ads. The nonstop consumerism really bums me out.
@hchamp @boogah @mathowie I just use safari on iOS with an ad blocker and there’s no ads whatsoever.
@mathowie give me a true chronological feed, and I’ll go up to $5
