These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.
After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.
Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.
For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.
You still using Instagram! In 2024
I guess I am the only who thought that everyone has moved on from Instagram.
As a photographer I have tried every alternative I’m aware of. Insta is still king for image sharing, which is… Nuts, to say the least.
I’d also love to hear where they supposedly moved to.
If you stop using Instagram, then you won’t have to worry about it.
But it does mean that an unpaid moderator isn’t attempting to moderate their platform. Let them see what happens when they take the extwitter approach of letting the computers handle everything.
First read Mr. Bean.
Why do people use Instagram
I don’t know about OP and other countries, but where I live it’s got to a point where companies are basically sharing everything on Instagram only. A lot of them don’t even have official websites, and those that do have websites don’t update them and leave them to rot and die.
Wanna know which concerts are coming up to your favorite venue? Instagram. Wanna see the full menu and prices for your favorite restaurant? Instagram. Wanna chat with a human and get a real reply? Sorry, they’ll only answer your DMs on Instagram.
It’s infuriating, so I keep an Instagram account just to follow those brands and know what’s up. I also follow some close friends, but I don’t interact with anyone and I don’t have any posts, they all think I’m weird in that sense, but I don’t care.
