I would gladly pay for a version of Instagram without adverts but I don't see how it's possible.

They can eliminate the "sponsored posts" but the algorithm is still going to recommend to me all sorts of poisonous stuff for engagement. That's the real problem that I'd like to pay away - just leave me with what I follow and nothing else.

What I think is going to happen - if interest rates persist and wars keep on waging, that you'll pay the subscription but you'll still see the ads and if you want not to see the ads AT ALL then you'll have to pay for some premium tier or something.
Yeah... Instagram is sort of a lost cause at this point. I think you're better off just finding a different service.
