Instagram brings adds to Profile Feeds and Explore’s landing page

Instagram is bringing ad placement (surface) to the landing page of explore (first page one sees after tapping Explore button) and to Profile feed (feed one goes through after visiting someone’s profile). Ads will appear as ‘sponsored posts’ and profile feeds ads will be open for ‘non-teen, public’ profiles. Takeaway: Instagram is already facing a lot of backlash from users after their unidimensional push towards Reels to rival TikTok. Its revenue dropped for the first time last quarter bringing it under pressure to increase the same. While this move may appear good for Instagram, is it going to be good for users? Would it ruin the user experience of an already irritated user base is the big question.
