Because people are sick and if you put an upload button on any website, the sickness will spread through it. Instagram has content moderators and probably AI to filter it but if you have more sick people uploading this shit than moderators, well it gets through. Believe me, they dont want to host it because its not advertiser friendly and alienates users… there is no incentive to them hosting this, as you said, they arent rotten.

Better question:
Why is Instagram hosting horrific violence, animal abuse, murders, dead bodies, and other gore videos AT ALL?
They aren’t rotten.com, so why host it? If you don’t host it, then you don’t need to worry about the feeds screwing up.
Do they do porn videos too? There’s the next potential problem…

It’s because they are massive online attacks by govt orgs. That’s why they have access to all that footage, especially war footage - it’s theirs. That’s why all those Russian torture videos exist - many are literally just officers and prison guards for Putin, and he releases them as a warning to spies and people abroad. It’s online terrorism

Oh there’s plenty of porn in there. Not hard-core stuff, and done in a way to fool algorithmic detection, but it’s there
