How?

  Adblocker in their browser, maybe?

    Instagram ads appear in feeds as normal posts. I would assume that they are not blockable.

      At least on Twitter, it's fairly easy to build a filter for µBlock (or similar blockers) that will trigger on having "promoted" within a Tweet <div> and hide it. At least in the Instagram app, the ads have the same "promoted" text in their heading, so similar filtering can probably be applied to the web version.

        It's harder than that: https://twitter.com/aaronkbr/status/1071214578980261888 https://twitter.com/aaronkbr/status/1071214578980261888 "Facebook adds 5 divs, 9 spans and 30 css classes to every single post in the timeline to make it more difficult to identify and block 'Sponsored' posts, oh my."

          Damn. I'm kinda happy it's easier with Twitter. This is some bullshit...

      AFAIK there aren't any ads when visiting via the website. Only in the app.
