Better question:
Why is Instagram hosting horrific violence, animal abuse, murders, dead bodies, and other gore videos AT ALL?
They aren’t rotten.com, so why host it? If you don’t host it, then you don’t need to worry about the feeds screwing up.
Do they do porn videos too? There’s the next potential problem…
Oh there’s plenty of porn in there. Not hard-core stuff, and done in a way to fool algorithmic detection, but it’s there
