knocks on door Good morning, Ma'am! Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, uBlock Origin?
Can you use it in-app? No? Thank you, I'm not interested. slams door
Give AdGuard a shot, it works on IOS and Android for native apps as it MITM all your traffic! _a random bypasser yells_
ps. Not sure if it works on instagram, but works fine on youtube and the like.
Doesn't work, unfortunately. Ads are served by the exact same IP/hosts than the other regular feed items :(
Doesn't help on the Instagram mobile app I'm afraid.
Oh, I forget that normal people still use mobile apps. I basically don't install anything that requires any permissions, which works well because most intrusive apps rely on Google Play Services which I also don't run.
Our Lord and Savior pi-hole
Anecdote: My instagram ads also consist of uncommonly thin, scantily clad women, and I'm male, and do not do yoga (though I am considering it.) I don't think it has as much to do with your gender as it does with instagram doubling down on "sex sells".
Is this not simply a reflection of which companies are willing to pay, or sponsor, Instagram with the most money? Or is this a concerted effort by Instagram, or society in general, to only accept ads of this nature? Should Instagram require a diverse set of advertisers/sponsors? Even it means that they will generate less revenue?
I have every sympathy with the writer here, but they seem to have missed the obvious way to opt out, which is to just not use the website/app that is upsetting them.
It's possible that they would like to see photos taken by their friends. And Instagram is, like it or not, where those are being hosted.
Telling them "Use a different service, which your friends don't use." doesn't add anything useful.

Holly shit! Delete the app and your account ASAP. Don't let a company or anyone for that matter treat you like this. Fuck them.
