Facebook is the only site I turned of my adblock for: They know everything about me, so surely they could come up with some really useful ads for products that I really want to buy?
Nope. I keep it of only because the ads always give me a chockle: trying to sell me "magic" amulets (I noted that I am an atheist), getting me to get the exact the degree from the exact university I went to (and, which I proudly listed on facebook) and getting gas from a company 150+ miles from my home.
Ads online are a joke, doubly so on Facebook.
