Targeted Instagram ads have been very useful to me recently. I just moved apartments, and the ads have been showcasing products that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.
The argument can be made that maybe I didn’t need these things in the first place. But I want them, it makes me happy, and these ads have saved me time.
- smt88 7y agoThis is a pretty rare ad experienced. They're much more commonly used to generate desire that doesn't need to exist; to manipulate public opinion in a harmful way; to sell dangerous products; to astroturf; etc. The fact that people attempt to ignore most ads, with varying degrees of success, tells you that they're net-harmful.
