Hallo, 👋 Ich bin mir sicher, dass es hier viele Auswanderer und Einheimische gibt. Ich wollte euch nur darauf aufmerksam machen, vielleicht ist mein Feed irgendwie nicht in Ordnung, seit einigen Monaten werde ich mit russischen Neuzugängen bombardiert, ich versuche nicht zu interagieren, sondern zu berichten.
Es spielt keine Rolle, in welchem Land, es ist ein grundsätzlicher Respekt, nicht in einer Sprache zu werben, die nicht die offizielle Sprache des Landes ist, wie man es andernorts getan hätte. Angesichts der Geschichte der Geo-Russland und der aktuellen Entwicklungen wird dies noch sensibler und ich finde unser Äußerstes respektlos und geschmacklos und berechtigt, in russischer Sprache zu werben. Oft versuchen solche Unternehmen zurückzuklatschen wie „Übrigens, wir sind nicht Russland, wir kommen aus der Ukraine“, das muss ich sagen, ironisch. Abgesehen davon: Wie stehen Sie dazu?
Ehrlich gesagt wäre es großartig, wenn Meta sie entfernen würde, aber es verstößt nicht gegen die Richtlinien der Meta-Community.

Damn, you’re crazy
what
Arent you also posting in a language here that is not the official language?
Or is there maybe a slight racism that drives your opinion of this adds, because of the situation between Russia and Ukrain?I am not judging you by any means, just asking questions.
Are you okay with Russian products in the supermarkets, but this bothers you? It’s very likely because of your phone.
There’s no such thing as basic respect in advertising. Advertising is done to drive customers and thus it’s done in the language they speak. Meta ads work not just based on location but the user’s preferred language. If you’re getting those ads, either their targeting sucks or you consume content in Russian. Hope that helps.
Georgian physical and digital world is infested with russians and their products.
Nothing unusual, just the next step in the hybrid war against Georgia.
Instagram targeting lets you tweak parameters like age, gender, hobbies, behavior, and more, but I’m not entirely sure about the language settings there. Facebook definitely has language targeting, so you can run ads in a specific language within a specific geo—like Serbian in Brazil or whatever fits your target audience.
Most likely, these ads are showing up either because Instagram lacks those specific settings or because a lousy media buyer forgot to enable language targeting. On the other hand, many georgians understand russian and use expat services anyway. Honestly, it just looks like a baseless complaint to me.
> it’s basic respect not to advertise in language that is not the official language of the country
Bullshit. How else would you advertise to foreigners?
businesses want clients, that is what advertisements is for. anything that is grabbing customer’s attention goes. anything that is legal that is. there would be for example a lot of sex in adds if not for regulations. using any language is legal. this particular add is catered for the tourists and expats (who may not be all from russia, but other former ussr countries where they also have a lot of russian speakers) – the masterclass probably would be held in russian – so the add is in russian. and it could be a totally georgian business which is advertising in russian. like menus in restaurants are provided in different languages and there is nothing disrespectful about that.
Well, your feed if off definitely. You mention that you report the ads, but that makes no sense, these ads are legal and not violating platform rules. You better select „Not interested“ in the ads option. My Instagram ads feed is mostly English or Georgian, and only about 10% are solely Russian. Also, from your post it’s not clear if you understand Russian or not. If you do, Instagram definetely knows it and pushes you with ads in a language you understand, and it kinda makes sense. If you don’t like it, let the algorithms know by clicking „Not interested“ and sooner or later you’ll be good. Peace be upon you.
I mean, Russian is at least widely known by Georgian people (post Soviet country after all) so it’s just not surprising
Oh, don’t get me started with social media articles about Geo in ruSSian language… Force as soft as it gets!
And us… we are happy to encourage clapping and thumbs upping! What a morons we are huh! God, what have we come to… total degradation.
why alarming ? 5% population is russians
Maybe, just maybe, before teaching someone else „respect“, first we should figure out our own shit with embarrassing level of Georgian criminals all across the world, not to throw away trash in the middle of the street, not to hit/steal/silence women, not to cut other people on the road instead of taking your place and waiting in line and so on and so forth.
Maybe also it’s worth to stop double standards when you have Turkish ads, Arabic ads all across the country, and then bringing up „history“ as a pointer is, at least, embarrassing.
Level of bullshit our nation went into for the past couple decades is insane. Even if all the countries which you don’t like will be gone tomorrow like „poof“, it will fix absolutely ZERO of our problems.
So yeah, perhaps before bullshitting some random ads its worth to reflect (as a nation) on insane amount of problems that we have internally, culturally, and mentally, and try to fix them. Tip: Russian/Turkish/Arabic ads/culture/ppl isn’t even in top 50 of those problems, if they are problems at all, which I don’t think they are.
Take care.
Not only Russian, but Arab and Indian ads too.
ძალიან სასაცილოა ამ საბში ქართველები რო აღარ არიან და უბრალოდ ღორები და ინდოელები წუწუნებენ ქართველებზე. ბანი დამადეთ თუგინდათ, ყლეზე მკიდია, სამარცხვინოა ყველგან IRL და ვირტუალურადაც თავზე ვისვამთ რუსიკეობს)))
Your feed is off for some reason. I’m russian and I almost never see anything like this.
Stop bitching, that’s all
Mate im getting ads from germany lmao
That’s just an ad it goes WAY deeper than a simple insta ad trust me
Read my previous answer to the end.
i see lots of russians dont like your post haha
Ქუქოლდები ვართ პირდაპირი გაგებით და ხალხი ამას ჭამს. Სუპი გვეყოფა ხალხი
Chill they just don’t know how to do the right settings in the meta suite 🤣
ავანტყოფი ერი და ქვეყანა.
ყველა ღლეობა წარმონაქმნს თავს ვადღვნევინებთ,რუსი იქნება,ინდოელი,არაბი თუ ჯანდაბა. არაფერია საშველი.
I see many of those, buy they usually double the message also in English and Georgian.
საქართველო ქართველებისთვის არაა 🙂
