The problem is not with instagram but with capitalism. Capitalism is a system designed to optimize for profit, so the only advertisers that want to target you are advertisers who can profit from those ads. Vices make profit, insecurity makes profit, promoting positive mental health does not make profit.
In time we'll look back on this wild west of social media consumption just like how we look back on smoking. This stuff needs to be regulated.
- randyrand 9y agoSocialism would not solve this "problem". It's still profit seeking. Communism is also a profit seeking system -- just one where the everyday person no longer has the ability to make profit and only the leaders are the ones seeking profit. It may solve this bra problem, but will lead to other ones.
