- martin_a 5y ago> Sexy lady stuff I have this all over YouTube, togeter with dubious "phone cleaners" and the whole range of probably malware and backdoor infested app garbage. Funny thing is: After reporting probably too much of those ads on YT, I can no longer report _any_ ad at all. Banned from the report function. wtf.

- someotherperson 5y agoInstagram and similar can outright ban you for reporting spam. I guess spam reporting is also abused and brings you into a radar you weren't previously in. Nuts.
- bombcar 5y agoThere's no point in reporting spam, just setup an adblocker in general and move on.
- slig 5y agoInstagram has a serious "follow spam". Clearly fake accounts will follow people who follows some kind of niche account with hopes that people will follow back. It works, I can see that those spam-accounts have real followers. It tried to report those accounts to Instagram, and they don't care (the @spamaccount doesn't violate any ToS). So now I just block.
- jrockway 5y agoThis is apparently a problem on Reddit too. I got some follow spam over the weekend which was just trying to get me to click porn links. No way to report.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoAds on CNN AMP pages cover content, and there is no way to see the text underneath when using Chrome. So many reports, and nothing happens. Luckily Firefox lets me block the ads.
- wingmanjd 5y agoI recall something similar occurring during my earlier CS:GO days. I was temp-banned for reporting/ attempting to vote out too many cheaters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
