You don't see ads on Facebook?
It must be the ad blocker. 70% of the real estate via browser is ad based.
Those ads don't include promoted posts from pages you elected to follow.
The majority of content on FB is promotional.
- dhimes 10y agoHoly crap! I had no idea.
- Teeboo 10y agoWhat? Not sure what has inspired your sarcasm. I and another poster are discussing the UX experience which differs between browser with ad-blocker and other versions. Thy kind of sarcasm is not really meant for HN. Do you have an opinion of substance?
- astrowilliam 10y agoMaybe dhimes uses adblock and literally had no idea that there were ads on FB. I have been using ABP for about a year and never see ads on FB. I literally had no idea that 70% of the real estate is filled with ads either until you said something about it.
- Teeboo 10y agoThen I apologise for the snark. I thought it was sarcasm. Here is a look into FB without ad blocker https://imgur.com/gallery/d10Cb https://imgur.com/gallery/d10Cb
- dhimes 10y agoOne thing I did learn early is to never "like" anything sponsored. You will be associated with it in your friends' news feeds until you die. Actually, it may not end there.
- dhimes 10y agoYou are correct.
- Teeboo 10y agoThen yeh...HN is not really that kind of space.
- dhimes 10y agoI don't understand this comment. Backing out of your apology? Perhaps you should have a gander at how long I've been here before you become HN cop. Perhaps I misunderstand this comment. I use adblock on Facebook. I don't see all of the ads in your imgur pic. I seriously had no idea it was so advertisement-laden.
