The author is misdirected. This isn't really an Instagram problem. Instagram didn't make the ads. The advertisers did. If the ad is successful, it continues. If it is unsuccessful, it is removed. Clearly, these are the successful ads. The fact that author is triggered by them seems to indicate the problem is with the author, not the ads. The vast majority of users have no problems with the ads, or the ads would change. The vast majority don't write 5 pages of medium.com screed about the ads. The vast majority are imagining themselves as the woman in the ad and buying the products. That is simply how the algorithm works. The nice thing about the internet is everyone can have their say. The less nice thing about the internet is that includes everyone, including people with serious mental issues. Articles like this one, or infowars, or any other sort of militant fringe generally attracts more of the same sort of voices. It makes the fringe seem legitimate, because there's a balance of for and against in the discussion. The vast majority disagrees with the author. That's how the algorithm works.
