I’m very curious because it seems like I’m the only one who has never gotten ads/sponsored posts on my Instagram feed or stories.

Are you knocking on wood or do you often dance with the devil?

Now I'm curious how you DON'T get ads/sponsored posts.....?

I’m curious too. I only noticed ads are an issue in Instagram from MacRumors recent article about the app.

Are you getting anything, or do you just open it, look at the first photo and exit?

Yes, I’m sure. I’ve had Instagram since it first launched and was incredibly active on the platform when I was still in high school. I’ve never experienced an ad throughout the entire time.

I hate the ads on Instagram - I keep buying stuff I don't need!

I do remember my friend complaining about ads on Instagram, and one time I did see a “sponsored” ad post on her phone’s feed which I’ve never encountered before.

Ah. So I’m not the only one. I have collected a good following and had 500+ posts since launch (however I recently archived them all on New Years).

I have two accounts, one private and one public. I only get ads on the public one.

Hmm, I don’t get ads even in a public account.

Do you view on your phone or computer? They don’t show up on my computer.
