Researching alcohol interventions for a friend. I’ve seen more ads for alcohol than ever in my life (self.mildlyinfuriating)

I have a friend who’s alcohol consumption has gotten out of control. Me and his other friends/family are planning an intervention and so I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading on the topic.

NEVER and I mean NEVER have I seen so many fucking ads for alcohol in my LIFE. Instagram? 15 ads in a half hour of scrolling reels. YouTube? Ads. Google results? Ads. Twitter? Ads.

It’s fucking everywhere and it’s SICK. I’m researching how to help someone stop drinking and I’m getting inundated with ads for anything from gin, beers, vodkas and more. I can’t even imagine having an alcohol issue and trying to find help for myself with the web being this way.

It’s fucking sick.

What's a proper source for instander? Haven't heard of it before.

Thanks. I don't know the dev etc., and the below from FAQ about source code makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Why do you trust the outfit?

🇬🇧 Where is Instander's source code? Why don't you publish it?

Because Instagram for Android isn't open sourced to begin with. It means we have no obligations to publish source code due lack of license that would require us to do it. Ask Instagram to publish their source code and then Instander source code might be published.

Open source modifications are not good idea in general, because you don't want to see Instander with all it's features and without any credit to the_dise, right? We also don't want to see that. It devalues labor and it really is demotivating.

If you are technical specialist, you can make sure that Instander is safe by yourself. All have you to do is analyze app's outcoming traffic.

Since May 2020, there was not single a case of account hijack/password stealing where it would be proved that Instander is directly responsible for that.

I'm all for open source as well.
