The ads on FB are annoying and are disrupting regardless of how well targeted they are. Unless FB decides to completely change the advertising market and allow only a handful of nicer brands and ads (along with the drastic reduction in the amount of money it can make), nobody is going to believe that the ads are anything but annoying, intrusive and disruptive.
I'd be really interested in knowing how many Facebook employees use the platform from a desktop browser and resort to ad blockers to have a better experience. :)
