On a gradient green background are four white boxes titled Manual of Me. Each box has a different prompt from the Manual of Me and an example including: 1. Conditions I like to work in... "I love natural light and listening to music". 2. The times/hours I like to work... "I'm most focused in the morning." 3. The best ways to communicate with me... "Prefer a Teams message." 4. The ways I like to receive feedback... "Written feedback so I can refer back to it."On a gradient green background are four white boxes titled Manual of Me.

Instagram keeps pushing this ad at me, and it’s super annoying since it’s promoting an app to make video captions more aesthetically engaging. As a reminder, captions and subtitles are for accessibility. They shouldn’t be overly designed or animated because it can make them harder to read.
Screenshot of an Instagram ad showing a young woman promoting an app that will allow users to edit their video captions any way they want to make them more engaging. Text in the still reads, “No offense, but captions like these? Immediately scrolling.”
