"Instagram confirmed it’s testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media."

"“We’re always testing formats that can drive value for advertisers,” a Meta company spokesperson told TechCrunch."

Looks like it's time for people to move over to #Pixelfed

@noellemitchell at least YouTube has some worthy content that justifies waiting for an ad.

So glad I migrated to Pixelfed a while ago.
