If you ever scroll through Instagram comments these days, you can pretty much see the rise of pornbots, be it a comedian like Kevin-hart or a musician like Ed-Sheeran, there are porn bots everywhere! It floods the comments of even the most common/popular profiles and it's really disgusting that a platform like Instagram with all its policies against adultery lets something like this happen. The moderation methods adopted by Instagram are either inadequate or seriously broken and sometimes seem like it didn't even bother to check the reported page. Unless you mass report a page that CLEARLY posts nudity Instagram doesn't remove it...

now trading-bots are no better at all, read this excerpt from an article from accesswire.

"Instagram has begun to see their comments' sections overtaken by spambots and forex trader accounts gloating about how much money "Mary" made them by investing in Forex with her. A year ago it was basic, now the comments are written in full sentences and hard to detect upon initial scroll. Soon as you post something these automated bots jump in and boost your interactivity, buzzing your phone only for you to open Instagram and realize 3 of 4 comments are from Forex Spam accounts.

The bots have affected everyone's account and I mean everyone! Whether you have 3000 followers or 8.3 million like Gary Vaynerchuk, the bots will find a place in your comments section, cluttering the genuine interactions with false hope of making millions with trading because "John" was so knowledgeable in forex we couldn't lose. Of course, Mary and John are just fictitious names of bot accounts to prove my point. And these are like any regular profile complete with photos of a real person and posts about money and free training. The clutter in the comments is simply annoying but it isn't the problem. The issue at hand is people getting tricked and scammed out of their hard-earned money because during an unprecedented time like this folks are desperate for hope."

Instagram seriously needs to up their moderation team or implement new algorithms to remove the scam content. Here are a few solutions suggested by Redditors.

it's clearly not a case of " No solutions" but rather a lack of focus on the problem. Instagram surely can find ways to solve the problem but doesn't seem to care enough to make it a priority right now.
