For the last week I flag the listings and sellers. They are easy to spot: they are always grand pianos, tend to be Yamahas and Steinways, and the seller always joined Facebook in 2023. I tend to flag between 20 to 100 of these fake scam pianos per day.
Today I could no longer flag them!

You have to realize that they profit at least in some way by having these posts and more of them the better. It makes their platforms seem like it's bigger than it is, drives revenue for them. So their effort in cleaning up bots and scam accounts and other things is only to the level where those things drive legitimate users away. So if that threshold is not met yet they don't care and they would rather have you not report anything because someone likely has to review that. Then you get flagged not because the quality of your reports is wrong but because they're tired of hearing from you.
This is exactly why we cannot have nice things. Because these platforms are not about giving us nice things they're about giving us the minimally necessary thing to keep our eyeballs on them.
