Hacked, security risk

I have been an instagram user for decades. It is the most insecure platform I have ever experienced. My entire social media presence has been jeopardised because of my accounts there. I am flooded with spam on a daily basis. As a photographer I cannot have anything other than a private account anymore, which is obviously pointless. Despite reporting suspicious activity linked to my account countless times, and sending messages to instagram, countless times, “for years”, I have yet to receive “any” feedback from them. The platform is plagued by *****s and plagerists that mirror creative accounts and poach likes that should be going to the original creators. I have experience professional photographers and creatives having their accounts hacked and blocked from being accessed by their original users, countless times over the years and many are still unable to do anything about it, and have also “not” received “any” help from instagram. It has become a hive a *****s, hackers and plagerists who receive all the credit for effort that others hardly, if ever, receive credit for. Whenever I post, even a story, one spammer or bot account needs to only like the post and it will never gain any outreach or exposure after that. I report mirror accounts that in some cases are gaining more of a following than the artists and creators who are being copied.

If instagram was an art gallery, it would be located in the worst part of town, with the most amount of crime, and populated by drug dealers and ********s.

It is more of a risk for creatives than an asset. It has the worst customer service and feedback I have ever seen in my life.
