But that’s not all. Ads will also land on your personal profile. “As part of this test, we will experiment with a monetization opportunity that will allow eligible creators to earn additional revenue from ads displayed in their profile feeds.”, announces Instagram, while specifying that only American creators will be affected at first.
And if you’re worried about the aesthetic appearance of your profile, don’t panic. If you’re the type to be careful about what you post and want your content grid to stay the same, you always will. Ads will not appear within this grid, but will appear in your profile feed. In other words, you will have to click on one of your publications, then scroll to view previous or more recent publications to occasionally come across an advertisement.
