Talk to someone who heavily uses Instagram. I guarantee the ads there have gotten them to buy something. I never succumbed to ads until using IG in the last few years.

I do as well and it's similar random stuff. I guess I'm not a heavy "liker" of posts so maybe that screws up the algo.

I used to be a heavy Facebook user though and in spite of them having loads of data about me and my interests, the ads were crap.
