I've already left numerous bad reviews but I am going to have to stop using your ad app because I just received a shrill, ear piercing tone from an ad. I usually ignore stories because there is a loud video ad in between each one so I've simply stopped using them altogether. I unfortunately made the mistake of clicking one because it was from an account that rarely posts and I didn't close it in time before it ended so it was immediately followed by some Korean beauty scam ad that opened with a sharp, ear piercing, shrill alarm tone right off the bat to desperately try to get people's attention to the ad that hurt my ears while I hit the close button. I am looking into filing a complaint with the better business bureau and govermental agencies and also warning people online about this danger to those who are affected by sharp, shrill noises. It was absolutely piercing, as my ears are still ringing. I could probably sue as well if this doesn't go away and if it has permanently caused me tinnitus. I will see if others have experienced this and possibly draw up a class action suit due to lack of site ad regulation and the painful loud volumes allowed in the ads. As it is, when I do try to use the feed, I can't scroll with volume on because of the loud ads and have to scroll too quickly to actually see much because I may accidentally stop on one of the flashing, bright, nauseating video ads that are made extra flashy and loud to demand your attention. Metafacebook has run this app into the ground since purchasing it to the point that I use to use it for hours a day since 2012 and now rarely will open it up because my feed is mostly obnoxious ads and people I don't even follow you're imposing enough to force on me. You cut my feed to the last "48 hours" unless someone pays you to place an older post in with the new ones and then you force "sponsored" or "suggested" content at the "end" of my feed so I close the app instead or have to go to individual accounts to look at older posts from the week instead of instagram doing what it successfully did for years before zucker sabotaged it! Ads are absolutely everywhere, I now know and refer to this app as Instaads or Adsagram. It's no longer enjoyable at all to use as I scroll through my remaining feed so fast to avoid the bright, flashy, loud ads that I don't really get to enjoy any of the remaining posts anymore. Congratulations on truly running a perfect app into the ground. It's a trainwreck with each update and ad feature installation. Truly a metafacebook app now!!! Stop desperately ripping off amazon, ticktock, and others and just go back to the quality photo app it was, that you have foolishly declared you're getting away from. Can't wait til someone creates an app that is what Instaads was when it was simply instagram and zucker hadn't plowed it into titanic 2.0.

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS DEVELOPED TINNITUS FROM THE SHRILL SOUNDS IN UNREGULATED INSTAADS OR HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE BRIGHT FLASHES, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
