Instagram 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. Nut

  There's no point in reporting spam, just setup an adblocker in general and move on.

  Instagram 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.

    This 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.
