I still dont know how IG hasnt stopped the very obvious bot spam.

[1] This recent post on @bloombergbusiness for instance, it just takes 1 fold of comments to be all scammers, multiple accounts, same or near same message, pointing to the same account.

Sometimes in app its swipe up to go to the next thing, sometimes its swipe left, sometimes i have no clue and trigger an ad event.

And then the "game" ads I get, cant seem to tell IG the ad irrelevant enough times.

It's interesting that those aren't really available on the open web and require the app.
