Instagram is also terrible with spam. I often see spam comments that are voted up by dozens/hundreds of spam accounts.



It’s funny, I see that too but they’re never actually the highest ranked comment in the feed order. Rather, they’re always like 40 comments deep in the comment feed surrounded by 1-2 like comments. So IG must strongly suspect they’re spam, but don’t block outright due to the risk of fallout from false positives.
