So far have spent my day off on hold for a total of 3.5 hours trying to schedule a single medical appointment. Finally got a woman on the line and she said she had to put me on hold. She didn’t and goes “We can go, I’m just leaving her on hold.” I said hello? She hung up. — PolitiTweet.org

Fwiw, I tried uploading several gore videos that amassed thousands of views on Reels to TikTok, the videos wouldn't even upload, it gave me a content violation notice and didn't serve the video to one user https://t.co/5FtgxvUA9k — PolitiTweet.org

“It was gory stuff, torture videos, stuff you just don’t want to see,” Reinman said. “Violent videos, they just started showing up. I was like, what is this? It’s nothing that I follow myself.” https://t.co/5FtgxvUA9k — PolitiTweet.org

The rise in gore on IG appears to be organized. In Telegram chats viewed by The Post, the administrators for large IG accounts traded videos of rape, murder, animal cruelty & coordinated w advertisers seeking to run ads on the pages posting graphic content https://t.co/2MtYGoO2Td — PolitiTweet.org

“We’re raising a generation of adolescent grifters who will grow up having a totally skewed relationship of how to be ethical & make a living at the same time. It’s not ok for young ppl to be exposed to [this level of gore], much less be profiting from it" https://t.co/5FtgxvUA9k — PolitiTweet.org

@tjcrowley my story mentions that! If their advertising options weren't so restricted they wouldn't have to advertise through sponcon. But fwiw most didn't know the pages were running gore, they don't do due diligence on the pages they just buy spon posts in bulk :( — PolitiTweet.org

Large IG accounts are uploading gore videos to Reels, where they're amassing thousands of views and rewarding the pages with boosted engagement rates. That boost in engagement then lets them sell ads to OnlyFans agencies for higher prices https://t.co/5FtgxvUA9k https://t.co/9a8CmgFkuZ — PolitiTweet.org
