The ads are a window into a blatantly illegal underground economy that Meta is not only failing to moderate, but is actively profiting from and injecting into users’ feeds.
I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don’t use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.

Pihole oughta do it.
ReVanced says they support removing timeline ads from Instagram. I don’t use Instagram, so I haven’t tested it, though.
