An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

I did the same a while ago. I signed up for Instagram because a few friends were on it, but never use it. I signed in a few weeks ago to catch up, and it showed me three or four posts, said that I was caught up, and then just showed me ads and sponsored posts.
I am actually noting that on my desktop, I'm not getting any ads or sponsored posts, just stuff from those I follow, and other people with similar content (so many frogs and sighthounds). I doubt it's because Instagram doesn't force ads on the desktop site. My adblocker is just doing a very, very good job.
