    Yeah I don’t mind ads if they’re relevant - I scroll through insta reels from time to time, and am always getting ads about concerts I’m interested in, restaurants I haven’t tried and sales at shops I go to.

    I honestly don’t mind so much, and if it’s not relevant to me I can scroll past without having to watch.

        In order to use the platform in the EU, you either opt into personalised ads or pay a monthly subscription. So yes, I’m aware they’re using my data for the ads.

        Google does as well, but they don’t seem to be able to offer me even relatively relevant ads based on my interests.
