It's likely due to the scale of spam and abuse with links on IG.

- martin_a 6y agoAh right, I get that in Direct Messages now all the time. And IG does not even remove all the obviously spammy accounts.
- OJFord 6y agoI haven't watched Netflix's How to Get Away with Murder , but I'm pretty sure a critical component is 'blame it on the scale of spam and abuse'.
- SoSoRoCoCo 6y agoAre you saying that "scale of spam" is a strawman? I'm stuck on this issue, because GP used the term "internet feature", and the OP claims that they can be abused: reductively this becomes, "Are links good or bad?"
- myself248 6y agoLet's throw this out there: Any tool that can't be abused wasn't versatile enough in the first place.
- SoSoRoCoCo 6y agoThat's a reasonable postulate.
- ffpip 6y agoIf you browser instagram comments for more than 10 seconds, you have a 100 percent chance of seeing a bot or a thot. They do not give a fuck about spam. Only engagement.
- mitchdoogle 6y agoWhy are you seeing so many promiscuous women commenting on things?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI'm guessing he's talking about thotbots that go to "famous" "influencers" pictures and post comments to lure them over to said thotbot's owner and raise their magic internet numbers as well
- ffpip 6y agoThey are first thing in the comments. I'm not seeing them now, I stopped using Instagram.
