Recent darkweb-like videos on instagram (sensitive) (self.asklemmy)

Let me start off by saying I’m not an instagram user my self but nearly everyone around me is seeing this and it’s very recent and sudden.

There have been videos on many of my friends’ instagram reel feeds that contain vulgar content like gore and death and other disgusting stuff.

I’ve asked around and out of 21 people, 12 had this happen to them, it was video after video after video of this stuff… they even seem to be getting the same videos of it.

Has this happened to anyone else? Info would be helpful. Also if you know anything about the algorithm causing this stuff to happen please don’t shy away from sharing info.
