It's ramped up massively. Every third post is an advert.
I know I can change my ad preferences but does anyone know if I can reduce the amount generally?

I have googled it but not sure I'm going in the right direction or whether it's just impossible to do.

Mumsnet is as bad now with all the sponsored threads and video ads between posts. All hoping you Will pay for MN premium with no ads. Way of the world. Pay or scroll on.

I noticed this today. I had the same advert 6 times on a page. Probably because I switch off targeting and hide / block tons, so there's not that many left to show, but it's very annoying. I'm also missing posts from actual friends as it irritates me so much, I just close the app.

It’s the price you pay for “free” social media. How else do you think FB, insta etc make money?
