Sorry, forgot to add that I don't know any Chinese and I don't have any reason to believe that Facebook thinks that.

- TeMPOraL 9y ago> there isn't enough targeted inventory Did I just get called 'inventory'? God, that's the next step after "human resources"...
- singularity2001 9y agobe happy, at least you are targeted
- marnett 9y agoI much prefer human capital, myself.
- michalskop 9y agoStill better than "natural resources"

- Filligree 9y agoWell, you keep clicking the ads.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoMaybe there's another option the creators selected that they think correlates to reading Chinese. Maybe they went for some pan-Asian option. "Uh, anyone who reads Chinese, Korean, Japanese is probably fine".
- toomanybeersies 9y agoFacebook thinks I speak Swedish, and I don't speak a word of Swedish. I was recently served an ad in Swedish, and when I clicked the little "why am I seeing this?", it said it was targeting people who speak Swedish in my area.
