Instagram Adds Ads to ‘Discover’ and ‘Profile’ Pages!

It is becoming more and more TikTok-like with new features it introduces. InstagramEvery day comes a new news. It turns out that the giant social media platform will now make a new move that its users will not like.

It has been announced that the revenues of Facebook, which operates under Meta in the past months, have decreased for the first time. For this reason, the giant company started to look for ways to earn more money. The information that has emerged now has shown that another move has been made in this context. Accordingly, now on Instagram more ads We’ll see.

Ads coming to ‘discover’ and ‘profile’ sections

The platform, which has more than 1 billion users worldwide, allows businesses in the application to ‘Discover’ decided to allow ads to be added to the section. In fact, while browsing through the posts in this section, we came across advertisements. However, the new decision is that the ‘Discover’ tab on its homepage That means we’re going to see ads.

For example, in the image above, we see that there is an advertisement that takes up a very large part of the page. It stands out that the ad says ‘Sponsored’ under the account it belongs to, and the ‘Get More Information’ option at the bottom of the post.

As if that wasn’t enough, the platform started testing to add ads elsewhere. According to Instagram Ads in the ‘Profile’ section as well we will meet. In other words, while browsing the photos on someone’s profile, ads will appear in the stream. While the platform states that these ads will be shown on ‘non-child, public profiles’, it says it is added for certain users in the US to earn money.

Ads on Facebook are also on the rise.

Meta will also allow us to see more ads on Facebook. The company on Facebook ‘reels’ started testing the ads we would see in the videos. These ads will appear when a video is completed. In other words, an ad will be shown once in a while before the video starts again. According to the company, users It will take between 4 and 10 seconds will have the opportunity to skip the ads. When the ad is over or over, the video will start again.

It is unclear whether such an application will be on Instagram. We hope that we will not see this on Instagram, which attracts great attention with its short video format. Because such advertisements can get on the nerves of users watching ‘Reels’ videos on Instagram.

The company’s new decisions came after an ad-free Instagram application emerged recently. The application called OG Instagram allowed users to use Instagram without ads. The app was removed after its rapid popularity. Meta also said that this practice violated the company’s policies and that the necessary action would be taken.
